If we could send everyone wine, we would. Alas, you're going to the wine shop on your own. But here are twogood round-ups for wines under $15.00. Any of these look good as a host gift, too. (Giulia is staying home to watch Christmas movies on Thanksgiving; her editor is expected for a delicious dinner with friends.)
Remember not to expect your hosts to open your gift right then & there. We're mystified as to why some guests continue this rude behavior. For the unsure, Basic Wine Etiquette.

PS: We think the computer issue has been solved. It's too soon to tell for sure.
Bread, some Fourme d’Ambert, mixed with a bit of sweet butter, nuts, olives, & a slightly chilled dry rosé make for a lovely late summer’s evening. (It’s still summer as far as GG Centralis concerned.) Above is a label from a bottle we enjoyed last summer…nothing fancy, just right.
GG Central’s friend Bibi came to dinner a few weeks ago. She brought a delicious rosé, a Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence, ‘Sabine,’2007 (Syrah/Grenache). It’s very affordable, so run out & get some if you can. GG’s editor served rare slices of magret on wild greens, cannellini vinaigrette…The delicious wine (& grand company) kept us at the table long into the evening.
Though GG has lots of work tomorrow, she’s looking forward to seeing two of her favorite people, Isa & her bambino, le petit P.
Two weeks ago, GG’s editor & Isa had fun watching P. bravely encounter the Silver Spring fountain. That’s him in the photo above, performing with the dancing waters…he’s adorable & already has his maman'spanache…especially when he speaks Franglais. GG’s editor delights in the honorific ‘Tata’ to this petit lapin.
GG pouted as she was left behind. GG's editor has decided that as soon as appropriate accessories are in hand (halter, lead), GG can make some field trips. For that, we must borrow a camera!
