7th Annual Christmas dinner and Cellar Raid. This year we started with a a Rhone White get started as people arrived. The theme of the night was American Pinot Noir 6 different Pinot's from 2007 - 2011. We had Steak tartar, then Turkey Leg confit and then Italian comfort food with (all homemade) Meatballs, Baked Ziti and Eggplant Parm. Cellar raid keeps getting better each year.
Another successful Christmas Dinner and Cellar Raid. Every year this is so much fun and I look forward to the wines that we try.

2007 Roco Pinot Noir Private Stash 92 Points

Part of Christmas wine dinner and cellar raid and didn't take detailed notes. This was the first in the flight, and started off extremely light, but then really came around. Close to the top of the flight for me

Part of Christmas wine dinner and cellar raid and didn't take detailed notes. Cork broke but no issues with the wine. This was on the lower end with the others in the flight, but still very nice

2011 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 91 Points
USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast
Part of Christmas wine dinner and cellar raid and didn't take detailed notes. Final Pinot of the flight and very solid, although I think the Sojourn and Dumol out-shined it.
