May the new year be filled with good friends, good food
and good wine. Tonight is a good time to start.

I second that thought. It is cold and snowy here in Boston, but probably
warmer than in Minnesota.

Happy New Year to all!

Another 6 inches of snow on the ground here in Scotland yesterday with
the side effect of bringing the temperature up to about -3C (26.6F).

The temperature since about 21st has typically been -8C (17.6F) here
in Elgin since its only 6 miles from the coast. Further inland more
like -18C (0.4F) rising to -10C (14F) during the day.

New Year seen in something suitable to country and climate - Benriach
Madiera Cask.

Happy New Year to all on AFW

Let me add my New Year's wish for all and a healthy, happy year with
no weasel wines.

You're in the north? My stepson goes to St Andrews, he says it's
seldom that cold there and they don't get a huge amount of snow. But
Scotland is big, and I assume you're farther north.!

Happy New Year to all (NYC metro area is a seasonable mid-30s F, a
little snow yesterday)

Happy New Year from the South Pacific.
No need to bore you with the weather ;-) Hee Hee.

New Year's eve wines
With mussels in white wine, garlic, parsley;
2005 JM Brocard Chablis 1er Beauregard. Warm vintage, tropical
fruits peach/pear, lacks the nervosity that attracts me to Chablis from
cooler years but pleasant enough.
Med rare scotch fillet and fresh picked from garden, green salad;
2003 Ata Rangi PN. Some bottle development but losing the florals.
Plummy with earthyness, fading, drinkup. I had hopped this would
have held up better since has screwcap closure

Just back from two weeks on the West Coast (notes to follow). Happy New
Year to all, and best wishes for a most joyous and wine-filled 2010!
