I like martinis. A lot. I don't know what the best brand of dry vermouth is supposed to be, but I like Noilly Prat. Not because of the taste--I don't use that much and I can't tell the difference between the taste of that brand and others.
I use Noilly Prat because I think the name is funny. It sounds like an insult.
"You Noilly Prat!" Excellent.
You're a noilly prat.
I personally think Martini & Rossi sounds like something you have done to your car. "Hey, the ride looks great." "Thanks, just had it martinied and rossied, and they flushed the power steering."
