REMINDER: The 2008 Reader Survey Wine of the Year poll closes when the ball drops at midnight!

For New Year's Eve, I am going with the theme "...the year was 2003." I have a lot of wine from this vintage so it will present some dilemmas. Current front runners include:

• Betz Përe de Famille
• Cayuse Armada
• Spring Valley Frederick

However, there are a lot of other horses in the running. I will look to get some notes up during the evening on what I end up opening. Leave a comment and let me know what your go to wines will be.

Happy New Year! Be safe.
