Tony Conigllaro: "The Woodland Martini was inspired by a walk through the woods in Portland, Oregon. The walk started out quite light with the sun coming through the leaves and the further we got the darker it got. So we created flavors around maple, birch, sequoia and oak. We made a martini but rather than using vermouth we used sherry because that was a bridge between the gin and those woody flavors. It's a nice conduit from the light into the dark."
