wiegie Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Same to you (and to everyone else). Since this is the food forum, I'll mention that my wife and I are hosting another Swiss couple over for dinner tonight and we are having "fondue chinoise" (which is basically like a Chinese "hot pot" dish where you boil thinly sliced meats (in our case, turkey, pork tenderloin, and centercut beef tenderloin) in a broth at the table in a fondue pot and then serve with various sauces). It's the first time we've had it in America but its starting to become a traditional Christmas dinner in Switzerland. (The couple we are hosting is bringing the wine for the meal, I wonder what we'll have.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may still be able to get this years release of Viader out of their wine library. As most of you know, their inventory of .750's was caught in a massive warehouse fire that destroyed all fo their 750's. LEt me know if you want any, and I will try to get it for you if I can! Mostly 1.5 's and higher volume bottles! Happy Holidays!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nogohawk Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Here was my Christmas list which I shared with my step-son - we both weren't feeling too much pain by the end of the evening! Winery: Niebaum-Coppola Wine: 1992 Rubicon Rutherford Score: 92 Distinctly minty, firm and austere, slowly evolving into a more supple and flavorful wine, with a core of currant and berry. A ruggedly tannic young wine, it will need cellaring until 2002. 2,956 cases made. (JL) Winery: Concha y Toro Wine: 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Puente Alto Marqués de Casa Concha Score: 91 Smart Buys Very solid, with ripe cassis, blackberry and boysenberry fruit offset by vanilla, mineral and cocoa notes. Shows a loamy undertow, but stays fresh and focused through the finish. This has a great track record of value. Drink now through 2007. 23,800 cases imported. (JM) Winery: Fonseca Wine: 1983 Vintage Port Score: 90 This is a rough-and-tough wine for laying away. Deep, dark purple-ruby, with an intense, ripe raisin and mint nose, full-bodied, with raisin flavors, full tannins and a long finish. (JS) Hope every one had a Merry and is going to have a Happy!
