Wine "toys" for Christmas!

[dananne]

Anne bought several little toys for me this Christmas. The best was a gorgeous Chateau Laguiole Vialis olive wood waiter's corkscrew. Wonderful. Also got a very nice pewter airating decanter funnel with a mesh filter to catch sediment. She also got the Wine Enthusiast aroma kit (which is just like a drinking game for grown-ups), a new set of Schott Zwiesel Titanium port glasses, and something called a Clef du Vin. It is supposed to let you know the aging potential of a wine. I think it is likely a bunch of baloney, but it was fun to play with on Christmas night. Also, my mother-in-law gave me $200 to play with at the wine shop, where there is a nice little 20% off case sale this week. Happy coincidence.
