Kirkland Signature Chardonnay Sonoma
Probably one of the best $7 bottle of wine I've had. Not oaky and quite decent

KC old fashioned. Simple syrup. Angostura orange bitters. Slice of orange.
A couple negroni’s last night with homemade bbq chicken pizza
Manhattan
I am not liking it. This is my first and I do not think I messed up the recipe. Maybe it is the rye whiskey. I have never had it before.
2 oz. Bulliet Rye, 1 oz. Martini & Rossi red vermouth, 3 dashes of Angostura bitters, stired in ice for 45 seconds then strained into a glass garnished with a Luxardo Cherry.

You made it correctly, it seems! You might try another vermouth and/or whiskey. I like Carpano Antica and Dolin Sweet Vermouth. The Manhattan might not be for you, but you can check it off the list!
Watching hurricane coverage tonight with a Flower City/Noilly Prat/lemon zest Martini. Feel for the folks in S Texas and NE Mexico. No fun.
Gordon's Gin with Bass Ale chasers.
That sounds like a proper Manhattan, so it sounds like you don't like a proper Manhattan.
Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks. Good on you for giving it a proper try!
Domaine Ste. Michelle Sparkling Brut
If it was too sweet, you could make it dry with dry vermouth or make it “perfect” with equal parts dry and sweet vermouth.
Today is my first Old Fashion cocktail using rye whiskey. I must say, I think I like it a better than with bourbon. I understand rye is the original whiskey used in this. I will keep a bottle of Bulleit Rye in my bar just for this drink from now on.
Cheers

It was not sweet at all. It had kind of an ammonia like taste. I will try again and see if it grows on me.
That doesn't sound right at all. Are your ingredients in good shape?
