What a great Christmas! I can't believe it's already over.
We had some awesome meals and some great juice. Here are the more memorable bottles, both good and not so good:
From the Market:
2007 Argyle Brut (still can't believe how good this domestic bubbly is)
NV Taittinger Cuvee Prestige (real Champagne at a great price!)
2008 Sean Minor Cabernet Sauvignon (always solid)
2009 Falesco Merlot (A 92 point $15 Italian Merlot we had with pizza - really good!)
2009 Vina Robles Chardonnay (a really nice quaffing Chardonnay at a good price)
Gift from a friend:
NV Bollinger Brut Rose' (WOW!)
From my stash:
2007 Jaffurs Verna's Vineyard Syrah (not the Bien Nacido, but still pretty darn good)
2004 Smith Haut Lafitte (still young, but the 4 hour decant did wonders)
2008 Saxum Broken Stones (Saxum Rocks!)
1999 Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet (very average - disappointed)
Next up - New Year!
Tom
