 WineRelease.com's December 15, 2005 Monthly Newsletter
 
 
 Greetings from WineRelease.com, now 1,077 winery listings strong!
 
 
 The holidays are here!  Happy Holidays!
 
 I hope your Thanksgiving was enjoyable.  I still have yet to purchase my Christmas presents.  I put my niece in charge of buying for my other nieces.  I figure she is more in tune with what they want than I am.
 
 So I am rushing out the door for my annual holiday wine dinner with my monthly wine group (primarily wine trade folks from Henry Wine Group who know much more about wine than I do).  We are dining at Frascati in San Francisco.
They depend on me for Bordeaux, so I am bringing a 96 Cos d'Estournel and 70 Phelan Segur... and Castenau de Suduiraut for dessert.  I wanted to finish this newsletter before dinner so I don't drink and write and regret my prose in the morning.
 
 Check me out on DIYNetwork's Fresh Coat TV show next Monday, December 19th at 9pm (http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/shows_dfct/episode/0,2499,DIY_21537_38233,00.html).
They transformed my boring TV/office room into a colorful TV/office room.  Here me say "I like it" five times.  Yes, I realize after that experience that I don't have the knack for television.
 
 
 And now, on to the show...
