I'm afraid that I'm going to leave you for one week, wine blog readers! It's the first time in over a year that I'll actually be away for the holidays... without my computer... or any other form of technology that would force me to up date my blog daily. So please, have a HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON and WONDERFUL NEW YEAR! I'll return to write on January 2, 2012!!! And with that, I leave you with a fun Champagne cocktail to ring in the New Year (originally found in Woman's World Magazine).
