Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!

We're enjoying the lazy down-time in between the two holidays. Daryl is working half days, and the weather has been mild enough that the kids can get out to ride their bikes in the afternoons. We haven't done too much wine drinking lately, save for the usual glass at dinner.

Christmas dinner was excellent. We visited some friends, who prepared a wonderful feast. We drank sparkling wine from California--hand-carried from their trip to Napa. For dinner, we brought a Santa Barbara Chardonnay and a Pinot Noir. Good eating, good drinking, and wonderful company!

We opened a bottle of Garnacha (Grenache) from the Carinena region of Spain: 2002 Vino Tinto Castillo de Monseran. Very nice, and a great bargain at $8. We're enjoying it with dinner this week.

Daryl promised to pick up some Prosecco for New Year's Eve. Cheers!
