Moet & Chandon 1999 Brut Champagne Cuvée Dom Pérignon, France
Rated 90 by The Wine Spectator!
There's a high-toned minty graphite accent to the aroma, with a citric edge on the palate. The structure is overlaid with lemon and bread dough notes. This is tight and crisp on the finish, so break out the sole or shellfish, or wait a few years. Best from 2008 through 2020. 750ml.

Delirium Noel 750ml Belgium
Sometimes it seems as if Christmas is associated with all the wrong liquids. Like eggnog. Do people still drink that stuff? Or hot mulled wine. And I know you’re all yearning to gulp down a piping-hot goblet of wassail, right? Wrong.
At Christmas time, beer is where it’s at. And not just hale and hearty English ales. No one does Christmas beer like the Belgians, the lowlanders know how to celebrate the holiday with potent panache. One of the best of s Delirium Noël, a strong ale brewed by the fine folks at Brouwerij Huyghe in Melle, Belgium. The minute you see the team of pink elephants towing Santa’s sleigh, you know this one’s gonna be a fun time. Pouring a regal russet color, topped with a fluffy, snow-like head, it almost seems to glow.
