Your best bet is to ship it to me in Sarasota, we’ll be there after Thanksgiving. Of course, as a further precaution, I’ll open and taste it to make sure it survived the trip ok.

I saw your boat. A patio umbrella mounted in a rowboat bench is hardly a wheelhouse.

Yeah, I am amazed that after all these years, Santa STILL has a few bottles of Boone's Farm in the cellar.

Obviously CT Santa is a man of distinction who prefers his top wines with at least 15 years of cellaring.

Status: offline 		Wine also identified and maybe ordered (or did I just order more for me?) and it may or may not be ready for shipping and it may or may not resemble a bottle of vintage Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill Demi-sec… such is the vagaries of SS shenanigans.

Maybe something lacking....... It would be wrong to send something they really consume and I know they like.

If you look at his consumption history you will see that he throws a massive New Year's Eve party every year.
