Oldies but Goodies

 December 13, 2025


Had a few people in for my annual "Christmas Soiree".  No theme for the wine, so it is always interesting to see what people bring to be in a festive mood. This year was very interesting. Older seems to be the theme. There was not a disappointing bottle in the mix.  Some were very good.
