Update: What did you drink on New Year's Eve?

Rodney Strong cabernetOf course, I don't mean to presume that you drank any alcohol of any kind. No. If all you drank the other night was ginger ale or Yoo-Hoo, that's fine too.

Nicole asked the other day what you were going to drink on New Year's Eve, and I wanted to see how it turned out for you. I originally planned to drink mixed drinks all night, maybe Negronis or gin and tonics, but I changed my mind while shopping.

I started the day with about 5 cups of tea (cut down on sugar, that should be another one of my resolutions), and then the evening activities got going around 6pm. I opened up a bottle of Rodney Strong cabernet and drank the entire bottle (other people in the room stuck to their own wine and to mixed drinks). It was the best bottle of wine I've ever had, and I'm a little mad at myself that I didn't note if it was 2002 or 2003 (I threw the bottle out and the trash man came this morning). It was one of those years though, so check 'em out.

At midnight, we opened up a bottle of Korbel champagne. That was tasty too. It's the only time of year I drink champagne.

What did you have to drink?
