strange battery drain

Am curious if the following battery drain is normal or not.
97 CS with Stg 1 tune and 1 year old battery and 2 week old starter, started strangely today after 10 days of sitting. Upon startup the voltage read 9.6 volts and the engine ran very rough. I let it idle and after approx. 2 minutes the idle got significantly better, I then drove it an hour and it ran normally with EDU showing full charging of 14.6 volts. It was interesting to see how the 2 year old bosch alternator brought the elec system/battery back to life.
I don't think 10 days sitting should run the battery down that much right?
If it is a battery drain somewhere it is strange because i've never seen this problem. To check each fused circuit for battery drain can i use a dig voltmeter to read the milliamps?
TIA,
DanaH
