January 2013: What are you drinking?

2000 J. Lassalle Champagne Cuvée Angeline
2005 Château d'Issan

Went to a local restaurant last Tuesday, and found out that they were giving 50% off bottles of wine from the list. The list isn't extensive, but they had Roederer Champagne for $60. At 1/2 off, that's $30 for a bottle. Absolute no-brainer there!!

1985 Ridge Petite Sirah York Creek

2001 Rafanelli Cabernet Sauvignon- solid, but nothing too special

Interestingly for me, I remember this period as we were living in a hotel on RAF Alconbury. Don't remember the wine though.
