Are you roasting a lamb in the fireplace?

No (homemade pizza on the way....), but I realize now that I opened my other bottles of this too early. This is one of the best Pinot Noirs I ever tasted....outstanding classic Burgundy. Lots of black cherry, chocolate, sandalwood, patchouli, and....fresh rising bread dough...along with generous acidity. This could go for years. I wish I'd saved the others until now.

As in, zackly which '14 Bourgogne(s) are you referring to? Some are pretty nice right out of the gate.

79 degrees with passing clouds and a nice 12-15 knot breeze. I have a little color on my face (in late Dec.)
A fun, nicely-paced round of golf (got my money's worth--hit it a lot, but a few really good holes, including a chip-in and a long birdie putt on a difficult hole).
While we were away, the landscapers installed some beautiful new palms.
Opened a '12 L Michel Butteaux--CORKED (nothing can spoil my mood; I have more Chablis)
Opened a '12 Billaud-Simon Mont de Mill Vv (ROCKING!!)
Sitting on the sunporch, wondering what I'll open next to go with a ham and potato dish similar to Rösti.
The color of the sky is amazing.

Will be served with pappardelle and a 2005 Poderi Aldo Conterno Langhe Nebbiolo Il Favot. Nothing too fancy but all in all a great way to spend an evening

I hope all of you dined as well this evening as we did.

It is -7 degrees out though, without the considerable wind chill. A good night to look through a bowl of gossamer 2008 Dujac Chambolle and into the fire.

HRH wanted them her favorite way--wrapped tightly in foil and roasted at 400 for about an hour.
My favorite is cubed, tossed with olive oil and Berbere spice and roasted at 375.

I have to admit that last night, she killed it. They caramelized into dessert.
