ORIGINAL: ChrisinSunnyside Your guess of Rossidio is NOT correct, mc2. OK, here goes one last shot in the dark........jrockman, are you our SS (again)??? Why yes, mc2 wines, I am indeed your Santa! Nefarious misdirection was afoot! Our SS claimed no knowledge of us. HOWEVER - he also did an AMAZING job at picking the wine so I suppose all can be forgiven. THANK YOU! Ah, yes, there was a bit of subterfuge involved, Mike & Chelsea. When you had indicated you had your first guess all set to go prior to the reveal, I feared I was the likely choice, what with all the Rotie I have showing in my cellar, so I needed to throw you off the scent. It was just a little fib, indicating confusion as to whether you were one or two - of course, I knew better, having spent an afternoon wine tasting with you in Woodinville. It worked better than I could have ever imagined! You hadn't asked for a clue yet; I thought I would give you one more guess and then I was going to offer up that we had previously met. Everything else I wrote in my missive was accurate - well, except for asking if you had ever been to Washington, that was another bit to throw you off; I had no clue as to what I was going to pick out for you until the reference to mourvedre and Hommage. You made it easy from there, especially as you appear to enjoy Rotie's wines; I really wanted to gift a bottle of the "dre", but they were all out, so had to go with the Homage. I trust you will enjoy it. Cheers & best wishes to you both! May we meet up again sometime, hopefully sooner rather than later. Jeff
