anyone got their menu planned yet? i've ordered the 4 bone rib roast, and am gonna do a garlic/mustard coating w/ it. haven't really figured out the sides yet, but there is still time. gotta pick the wine out too...my '97 ridge geyserville is all gone. maybe i will crack open the '95 rubicon?

We're going to do an Italian dinner Xmas eve, a pork loin Xmas day, and turkey the day after Xmas.

are you doing the italian seafood thing? can you even get decent seafood in the middle of the continent?

MMMMMM Ridge Zinfandel. Damn Narlus, you can pick 'em. Going to the sonoma winery/tasting room is like visiting mecca.

unfortunately i've never been to Ridge, and the medieval MA alcohol shipping laws prevent me from getting in their ATP program. hopefully that should change soon.

Man, I remember having to hustle to the packie before 8pm or whatever...the funny thing is that those laws usually made me buy MORE alcohol than usual, just in case, and of course we'd end up drinking the reserves too. More restrictions usually meant more drunk.

Naw. I don't really get excited about seafood. We're going to do some homemade lasagna of some sort, I think.

And wine. Lots of wine.
