Have you selected your X-Mas dinner vino yet?

Just curious what wine you all have selected for your family's
X-Mas dinner. I usually hunt for a right bank Bordeaux about 10yrs old from one of the lesser known Chateau's. This year however I was in Sicily and tasted a 2002 "Tasca De Amarita" Cab that was awsome. Should go well with the goose. What do you folks got goin?

Well... actually I have a Moet to start things off Then I'll get into some of NZs fabulous Pinot Noirs. Pinot noirs are about all I drink these days and my favorite is from Central Otago called Lake Hayes.

So You're doing a goose?

Goose was our first family tradition. Bill, I am also a huge fan of Pinot noir. I've been drinking mostly Oregon Pinot noir for the last couple of years. Pricey though. If you can find it grab a bottle made with fruit from the Gary Pissoni vinyard. He's got some pretty radical vinification methods. The best I've had yet.
