That is always a problem I have as well. Despite a large collection I
always go out for wines for Thanksgiving. Will be having something for
everyone. Domaine Faurmarie Coteaux du Languedoc 2002, Robertson
Springfield Estate 2002 Chardonnay (South Africa) that has some
extremely unusual an interesting tastes to it (somewhat nutty and
spicy), and Domaine Carneros Brut Rose 2001. Hopefully, I've covered all
bases. Probably could use a couple of bottles of Rheingau as we have 12
people.
