Nope...and it was wonderful. I stayed home alone, txted everyone that mattered a little before midnight, updated my journal (my life is sooo fascinating LOL), and watched Pride and Prejudice again. Midnight hit just as Darcy and Elizabeth kissed ::sigh::. Then I called my mom and dad to say Happy New Year and went to sleep.  |

Opened a bottle of South African bubbly (very dry, but good) and toasted the new year, while watching the town fireworks from our driveway. A show we did not have to get dressed to go out for.  |

Graham Beck Brut. It's 54% chardonnay and 46% pinot noir. Not extremely effervescent, and a nice golden color. But very much on the dry side. If you like your sparkling wine sweet, this is not going to fill your flute.  |

We used to buy G H Mumm champagne - but it's extremely dry. We switched a few years ago to Martini & Rossi Asti Spumante and found it less dry & it tasted better.

I have a friend who likes Asti Spumanti. It's a little sweet for me.
I am a fan of the French champagnes, but they have really become expensive. I stopped in my local wine shop on New Year's Eve afternoon, and happened to find the South African bottle. There were only three bottles left of a case of 12; the owner said the rest had sold out. The price was good ($17), but he also liked the taste. I've been to the shop before, and trust the owner's opinions, and for the money, I thought it was worth a try.

I have found that I enjoy the Spanish cavas much more than champagne, or even sparkling wine. They're also very reasonably priced as well.
We killed a couple of bottles of Cristalino cava and are going to have to go back and get some more, It was quite nice.

It's in post #9. I don't have the specific name for the wine, but I did have the grape percentage wrong. It's 53 to 47, chardonnay to pinot noir.
Figures. I cannot recall the name of the wine, and I get the numbers wrong, too.....Gawd, I'm a dork.
OK...It's just called Graham Beck Brut. No appellation, or particular vintage or anything else. And the percentages in this post are the right ones.

We had a great NYE. We had a feast for dinner: my crab mac and cheese, prime rib, green bean casserole, twice baked potatoes, and cheese cake. i didn't have any room to drink too much! |

New year's eve traveled to LA, New years Day - Attended the Rose Bowl Parade and the Rose Bowl. Sadly our team lost, but was still (most likely) a once in a lifetime experience.
