Christmas Cheer

Yesterday you saw my sprouts (you saw them in 2013 too)

Today you see my wine (you saw a similar bottle back in 2012 too)

We are creatures of habit in the Howcroft household.

Having said that, this Gran Reserva Rioja is a really beautiful wine. Smooth on the palette, full bodied and a nice taste of oak.

Comes highly recommended by Phil :)

Awesome shot

I must have missed your sprouts.......a very fine bottle of wine though....I think I prefer the wine! I do like a good sprout though!
Happy Christmas Phil, thank you for your continued long time support for my project. I am coming up to four years here so I know you are around the same time....long stayers us two!!

Nothing better than good wine to wash down good food. Beautiful capture and composition. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas Day.

Are you pouring? Looks lovely and will have to look for it. Such a beautifully composed image. So nice to have family traditions and this is a delicious one.

I remember you have a penchant for Rioja Phil - a nice old one this one!
