Dec 29thHappy New Years!

Hope you all enjoyed Christmas with your family and friends. Ours was very nice. Chrisman Mill’s Cabernet Franc from 2004 that we saved for Christmas Eve was worth the wait. It was bold and full-bodied,  but with a smooth finish,  and interesting black cherry overtones.

With New Year’s Eve approaching, many will be planning parties or attending them. If you enjoy sparkling wines for the celebration, I recommend Brut from Barboursville Vineyard and Winery in Virginia.  My personal choice will be a red wine. We will probably open a bottle from Virginia, either a Nebbiolo or a Claret from Barboursville.

Whatever you choose, love the wine you’re with and have a Happy New Year.
