I usually have my annual Christmas Soiree the first part of December before the festivities begun. This year due to Covid and other creepy bugs coming around it was postponed for a month. This get together is always limited to 12 people. I combine different groups of people I know so they really don't see each other except for my soiree once a year. Because of the change in dates two couples could not make it so I invited others to join. Changed the dynamics and conversation quite a bit. House was still decorated for Christmas so it was still very festive.
Interesting assortment of finger foods were offered. Pizza, shrimp cocktail (sauce was very good), samosas, couple of cheese plates, smoked salmon, sausage and peppers, Honey baked ham and turkey sliders. Cookies, fudge, truffle candy and cheesecake rounded out the food table.
I did not write a list down for the wine. Relied on the pictures I took so there are a couple missing from the list. The two standouts were the 2013 Rochioli and the 2013 Clos Pepe VS. Barely a few swallows left in each bottle.
