Round one of the Christmas gluttony

[hotwine]

There were only five of us for dinner of Mexican dishes tonight (Spanish rice, beans, local tamales, D's enchiladas) with the '95 Carlos Serres Gran Reserva Rioja; wonderful juice, wish I had more. Tomorrow, will start two nice tenderloins on the grill over oak and finish in the oven; there should be 11 of us at table. Will serve the '99 Pine Ridge Rutherford Cab and maybe a Lagrange or Fiefs de Lagrange.

Merry Christmas to all. Remember our troops and their families in prayers.
