2001 Ravenswood Cabernet Sauvignon

Christmas Eve Dinner. Bri: "Is there a God?"; Randy: "Its a kickass wine";
Ben: "Gee Dad, why doesn't Johnny Stratton like me?"; Jake: "It's strong"; Steph: "Strong Wine"; A nice but somewhat metallic wind--but met the roast beef head on.

Verdange White Zinfandel

New Port Richey. Imported from and aged in the Gran's frig for months and possibly years. Excellent spaghetti supper fouled by this sickly sweet witches brew. (Probably not Verdange's fault). The Christmas suffering begins.

2002 Santa Maria Merlot (Chile)

The A.D./Josephine Christmas Dinner Party. Fabulous little Merlot. The Chileans strike it rich again. This party was only clouded by the old man's an extended visit to the loo but salvaged by a nice exchange of presents (Val's idea).
