Wine Week 153: The Best Dozen of 2009.
It’s that time of year again! Santa’s packing his ute with presents for the good kiddies, and all us adults are wondering if there will be something special under the tree for us from the jolly man.
And it’s also the time of year when we announce the 12 wines that impressed us the most over the last year…. and then give them away to a couple of lucky friends of the show!

nice selection but i would like to have seen some bubbles included. I’m not trying to disregard the moscata, but not having a serious sparkler for Xmas/NY is an oversight.
