Working. Tomorrow too. Things are ok though. Went grocery shopping last night and picked up a hefty Spiral Ham for tomorrow night's dinner. Mmmm... :drool: After work today I make the all important booze run!!! :D Got home yesterday and there were 2 cards for us. One was from my company with a $600 check inside :thumb: , the other was a xmas card from the owner of my LBS. Thought that was nice. :)

Merry_______.

Morning! Had dinner with my sons and my brother last night - that was nice. But the aftermath at 3:30 in the a.m. wasn't. :(

Should be a slow day today here. I picked up a 12 pack of Guinness last night, so I just need to get a couple of bottle of wine today and then do some wrapping tonight.

Hey Narlus - can you recommend a good $12 Cabernet and maybe another $12 Merlot for me???

Good morning all. Wife and I have the day off, so we're not doing anything. Xmas shopping is done. I have to make dinner tomorrow night for wife, parents and a sister's family. Any suggestions?

My vacation contniues. I'm doing just this side of nothing. I haven't even showered or changed yet; I'm still sitting around in my robe. Everyone around the house is annoying me though.
You in NJ?

Hello kids! Had a dentist appointment this morning...just a cleaning.

So I got in at 10:00, then I leave at noon for a holiday party. w00t!

MBC and I are having my family over tomorrow, then we're going to Mt Snow to ski Xmas Day and the day after.

I second the Yellowtail. There are also some good Finger Lakes wines (I don't know if you can get them there, I'd think so). Standing Stone is a great one



Just biding my time, finishing up some work. We close at 12:30, so I'm going home! I may be MIA for a while, so have a great Christmas (or whatever you celebrate) everyone!

What fun it is to be around my father, who is working from home and chewing out other people at 8:30 AM.
How are the cats doing?

Mornin Yo!
Working today but hopefully leaving at noon or thereabouts. I need to go pick up a ton of Guinness and some wine for the weekend. We'll be hittin the mom's place tomorrow evening, and the inlaws and my dad on x-mas day. Finally on monday we have some good freinds from Humboldt coming over for dinner. Should be a fun but exhausting weekend.

Merry Christmas Monkeys!

Is it for Laura? She really liked the Blackstone Merlot we had.
The Cabernet is for her Sister - to bring to Christmas Eve dinner

Merlot is just for us sort of - just looking for something different.

If people like Merlot, I highly suggest Red Diamond Merlot - really a lot of bang for the buck.

Prism from Knapp (I believe) is definitely an excellent red.

Markham makes a good Merlot. I sampled it when I took a Napa wine tour. Valley Wines and Spirits is the only place I've seen it around here (the wine shop in the CVS/Andy's Market plaza on route 10 in Simsbury). It'll cost a little more though ($15 or so). MBC loved it.

try the wolf blass green label (i think it's a cab/shiraz mix), very good. also the chateau ste michelle or columbia crest out of WA is very good and not spendy.
