Happy New Year's Eve

Hermitage

Another year soon to be gone, another one with high points and low points.  We will be ending here on what I hope is a very high note, a 1983 Paul Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle.  It's the oldest bottle in the cellar and it's time has come.  A simple roast chicken and some potatoes fried in duck fat will help it along.

Happy New Year and best wishes to each of you.

And tomorrow this small corner of the cyber world will begin its tenth year.   There's still more wine and more dogs to come - and of course at least a flamingo a year.
