So…New Year’s Eve.  We had a fabulous evening with our friends Lester & Dawn and John & Linda.  A small gathering with a lot of laughs, fun, great food and great wines.   I decided on a taster menu so lots of small bites and lots of opportunities for wine pairings and conversations.  Michael raided the cellar and brought out some fabulous wines for a great way to start the year with a BANG!  Happy 2010, everyone!
