2 great wines

[sadistick]

A yearly tradition, always some nice wines with this holiday meal.

This year we started with a '96 Williams Selleyem Pinot and then a '82 Latour.

They both were excellent. The Pinot had a great nose, lots of blackberry and thick current/cherry. Light body, and a very smooth, fairly long finish. Could easily go another 3-4 years.

The Latour was outstanding. The nose was something else, shoe leather, maybe pencil shavings...'the forest floor' as my cousin put it. Strong body with an amazing finish that lasted for a good 80-90 seconds. Went very well with the brisket.

Had a Muscato di Asti with dessert, and some Cuervo Riserva de la Familla afterwards.

Hope everyone's new year is better than their last.
