holiday wine survey

Well, the moment is upon us, as we've popped at least a few corksfor the holidays...What have you had?Ours were somewhat scaled back (along with the rest of the celebration):'96 Domaine Ambinos Coteaux du Layon 2eme Trie: Lovely golden color,honey nose, quite melony, perhaps a bit simple.'93 Clos de Marquis: very tight (young) with typical Paulliac dark fruit and tar,a simple plummy nose. Probably will never be great but a decent buy a monthor so ago at 20 eu. Difficult year, (and this wine was quite stemmy), this needsat least 5 years.Happy hols to all!-E

Salut/Hi st.helier,

Yup. We're out tonight with a sort of club we belong to, called the "L'ordre International des Anysetiers" Bit like the Rotary or the Lions. The food and wine isn't going to be up to the standard at my brother's home (Foie Gras brought by me for example) but it won't be bad, I hope. Should be fun anyway.

For us it's still 12h45 away as I write. Gorgeous sunny day, crisp, like the excellent Bollinger Grande Année '90 that we drank in mags over Christmas. (I brought a couple of bottles back with me, as Tony finds it's gone too biscuitty in bottle).

As will we, but that's a while off. Give Kathryn a hearty hug and kiss from me at hourly intervals if you please.

Happy Holidays to both you guys. Especially since I am instantly blocked you will not realize I wished you this best of holiday.

I love this childlike behavior.

Happy Holidays anyway.

Thank you very much Michael.

Dick, when you _really_ mean it, and don't immediately follow it up with a snide remark, I'll be delighted to reciprocate.

I was making reference to my behavior--not yours. U assumed you did not get my posts anyway. Had M. Pronay not done that you would not have seen.

However that said Happy New Years still applies.

Hope this year is better for all with Health, friends, old friends and all that.
