G-RATED WINES ADVENT CALENDAR TASTING!
24 WINES IN 6 DAYS
Before my son could walk, he would commando crawl all around the house. At Christmas time he loved this special advent calendar that we had (and still have) and he would commando crawl to it when I put it on the ground at one end of the room. When he would reach the calendar, I would pick it up and take it to the other side of the room and he would commando crawl to it again. After about 25 times of doing this, his mom would be annoyed with me (go figure) but Joaquin would keep commando crawling to the calendar.
So, to commemorate his commando crawling to the advent calendar, I am featuring 24 wines in the remaining 6 tasting days before Christmas. All of these wines are favorites of mine, some you've tasted before, some you haven't. They're all incredible wines. All great gift ideas. None are the run of the mill wines you see everywhere else (yes I'm talking to you Santa Margie, and you Kim Crawfish, and you Voov Clickout, and you Meohmy what a terrible wine!) What I'm pouring are wines of quality, made with passion, and simply terrific tasting!
Join me Thursday night for wines 17 through 20 and then Friday for wines 21 through 24. Come by car, train, plane, or commando crawl if you have to, just get here and have fun!
