Did anyone else get any fun or exciting wine gifts over the holiday? There were a few wine-related gifts exchanged at my house. My husband gave me a copy of A Hedonist In The Cellar by Jay McInery, a book I've really been wanting to read. You can look forward to a review in the near future. He also gave me a bottle of Hakutsuru Sayuri Sake. I'd sampled it at a tasting back in the spring and absolutely loved it. I'm very excited to have a bottle in the house and I'll be sure to share my tasting notes here.

I bought my husband a couple bottles of wine as well - two bottles of Twisted Oak wines. (Though, truth be told, they are just as much for me as they are for him!) I chose the 2005 *%#&@! (a red blend made from Mourvedre, Syrah, and Grenache) and the 2006 Calaveras County Viognier. I'm very excited to try both of these!

Be sure to comment and let me know if you got (or gave!) anything wine-related!

I got a gift certificate for a local wine store (always muchly appreciated), a bottle of 2005 Truchard Chardonnay, a bottle of 2005 Marquis Philips #9, and two Riedel O glasses (Riesling style).
