Happy Thanksgiving everyone! The day after Thanksgiving marks the official start of holiday shopping and this year it's going to be crazy! Lots of sales for sure...
It's great to have a long weekend. If you are visiting family or going to friends for Thanksgiving, here a couple of wines that make splendid gifts. One is reasonably priced, the other a bit more.
First, this delicious 1998 St. Emilion Bordeaux, Chateau Simard. You can find it at Sherry Lehmann if you're in the city. It's 10 years old now so that always impresses people, but it's a very reasonable $23.95.... and it's good, really good!
Then, my favorite festive champagne. It's a little pricey, but certain occasion merit a splurge. Billecart-Salmon Brut Rose NV, $79 aprox. This is my favorite rose for sure.
Either of these are very classy and say (without words) that you're thoughtful - not a moron who forgot and picked up a crappy bottle on the way. (good grief, nothing worse than a bottle of Yellowtail!)
Cheers!
