Happy New Year to you and everyone else here, too. I also don't like
driving around on New Year's Eve, with all the loaded drivers on the
road, so my wife and I will also be home, enjoying shrimp cocktail,
broiled lamp chops, and a bottle of Argentine Malbec.

Same from me.
Just enjoyed a reindeer steak with Allesverloren Shiraz, now soon a dessert
on wild raspberries and a bubbly Australian, Notting Hill.

Bubbles and Freshly caught striped bass in fennel for us. Best wishes to
all and hopefully a much better year than this one.

Happy New Year's to all.

Looking forward to tonight. I came home at 3 to Wovel my driveway (my
favorite Christmas present ever! http://www.wovel.com/ no affiliation
except as a happy shoveler). We'll have a light dinner of clams and
udon, then we're going to a party at friends. We're supposed to bring
appetizers, I'm doing potatoes with sour cream and salmon roe as well
as sausage in a sherry rosemary sauce; Betsy is doing shrimp deviled
eggs and pears with bacon. Alex the host has about a dozen family
members from France here, he used to have a restaurant in Paris so
food is dependably good. I'll leave Betsy to decide if she wants to
not drink, I'm going to! Will happily walk the mile home if Betsy
wants to indulge (though it's going to be chilly).

Tomorrow blackeyed peas with a ham hock and greens.

Hello,
Spent the New Year's Eve with good friends at their place.
Had two Champ's for starters - one without name (label completely gone)
provenance c 60s, probably BdeB.
Very good apples, toast, still peasant mousse and good length. The empty
glass reeked of dried figs.
Second, Philiponnat Grande Reserve Blanc de Blanc, also 60s (NV). Acidity
pronounced, my opinion partly due to structure fading, nothing to balance.
Mousse quite lively though.
With paté Savigny-Vergelesse 1er Cru 1982 - we have had in all a half case
of these, color pale, not quite lipid, bit of funk on nose, after some time
in glass typical Savigny strawberries peeking out from the undergrowth.
With venison:
Delas Hermitage MArquess de Tourette 1980, slightly pale in color, very
barnyardy, very much Northern Rhone, blackberries, liquorice on aftertaste
Fourcas-Dupré 1989 extremely young, slightly austere, good structure,
enjoyable but should be left in peace for several years

At the stroke of 12, Fizz Palmer & co 1998, young and bubbly, charming

With homemade icecream and fruit
SChmitt's Kinder 2006 Sonnenstuhl Riesling Auslese, a Franken wine in a
half-size Bocksbeutel - too cute for words, really ...
Heaps of grapefruit and pears, slight fizz, good balance with typicall
mouthcleaning acidity - way too young, really, but good.

HAppy New Year to all!

Happy New Year to all.
I spent the evening at a close friend's place. His wife is a dynamite
cook, and his 11-year-old daughter is a bundle of energy who kept us
all awake! At the midnight hour, I was already nursing a local brew,
Yuengling Black & Tan beer, a blend of porter and lager. I prepared
for the big night by using my last vacation day and sleeping in late.

Dan-O (hoping for a better 2009 than 2008)

I'll drink to that!

We started New Years Eve at Meredith's Restaurant, a BYOB in Berwyn, PA. I
brought along a really wonderful Cab Franc from Shalestone Winery in the
Finger Lakes area. The Cab Franc's from this region have been really
enjoyable. Our dinner partners brought a Joseph Droudin Pinot Nior, the 2006
Bourgogne Véro. Very nice as well.

Happy New Year to all.
