I just finished my shower and was exiting the bathroom with my towel around my waist, when my two year old daughter suddenly appeared in the doorway. She pointed at my naked torso. "Meatballs... " she said, with her arm extended and a finger directed at either my belly or my chest. It didn't feel good either way. She declined to make eye contact at least, a sympathetic gesture I appreciated.

So yeah, I've got one or two New Year's resolutions on the table, even if a couple weeks late. It's that time of year for many, I suppose. Deciding to do without this or that - or resolving to develop new habits, to try new things, to enjoy new experiences.  

In this spirit, we are here for you, offering all new wines, new opportunities, new delights...
