Great-Grandson over yestersday to celebrate Jimmys' belated B/D. They go to Vegas on the 26th each year to play so we have his party when they return. Started out by finishing the Chimney Rock 97 3 Graces left over from the night before. When the kids arrived I had a Mag of 2000 Viader open. Very accessible and surprisingly strong for the vintage. We had this with Jimmys favorite dish.... my Italian Steak. To cap the afternoon and staying with the 2000 had Arrowood Special Selection. Another surpriosl;y nice bottle from this uneven vintage. Dint pay enough attention to either bottle to rate them as I was engrosed in playing with me GGC. Today will be Veg-Out with the 70 Dandeman. HAPPY NEWS YEAR EBBERBODY!!!!!WW
