Martini by the Fire<\/p><\/div>\n

Today, June 19th, is National Martini Day! It is also Father’s Day!\u00a0 A coincidence?\u00a0 I think not!\u00a0 Sounds like a perfect combination …. so celebrate with your father and a Martini.<\/p>\n

H.L. Mencken described the Martini as “perfect as a sonnet<\/em>” and Herman Wouk said a great Martini “sort of tastes like it isn\u2019t there at all, just a cold cloud.\u201d\u00a0 <\/em>With such outstanding endorsements, what more can I say! Enjoy!
\n\"Keep<\/p>\n

Celebrate Safely.<\/em><\/strong><\/span>
\nRemember the advice of Dean Martin:\u00a0 \u201cIf you drink, don\u2019t drive. Don\u2019t even putt.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
