Yearly recap and wine resolutions thread

[VouvrayHead]

1. Favorite wine of the year?
1998 Vilmart Cuvee Creation

2. What special bottle was finally opened this year?
hmm... none, really. Had a terrific Italian Syrah with 7 years on it... Forget it's name, though! Will be opening 2 exciting wines in next weeks, I'll post on them!

3. Your favorite "value" or "house" wine this year?
Easy! 2005 Cuvee des galets (vin de pays du Gard) non filtre. $8.99, $8.10 after case discount. strawberries and dirt! yum!

4. Your "wine discovery" of the year?
None, really. This just wasn't a big wine year for me. Next year will be better!

5. Wine-related resolutions for 2008?
Drink more good stuff (will be easy since I'm once again employed!) and post more often here.
