What an assortment! Hoping I get off work early today so I can enjoy a dram or three later...

Well I did get off early — but I opted for beer instead. A week ago it was 75 degrees. Now it’s 35 out. Stout season!

Tonight was our wine group’s Christmas dinner at a local French bistro, that we have been patronizing for years. The chef prepared off-the-menu stuff for us


There were a lot of us (10), which meant people wouldn’t bring their best wines. But the wines were still good:

One of my friends, who I’m confident has one of the best wine collections in the world asked me to serve my wine blind. By this time, we’ve gone through seven bottles already. Upon first sip, he quickly blurted “left bank, 1980s!” He took a second sip and proclaimed “1985!”. The wine:

We gave him hell for missing it by a year :whipped:

If you evey get a chance to buy this DO IT! 2005 is becoming one of the best vintages in decades for this area (I was told anyway) and this fellow beats the crap out of all the big boys. Small label champagne is not only often cheaper or in the same price range than the highly advertised mainstream stuff but leagues better.

Visited this distillery last year in Seattle, it’s fantastic! Crossed my mind last week and had a bottle shipped down to CA. Might become a regular occurrence...

Mighty impressive debut

I am a big fan of Beaune reds. First time I've had the white. Very impressed.

A couple from the staff show, magnum bottling of 83 Lindemans - considered vy some among the best Aussie wines produced, plus Roger Brun cuvee des Sires Grand Cru Ay which is utterly magnificent

Spending some time with a new friend and a nice Chignin Gamay from the Guerard brothers cheers everyone
