I was honest and said, "Not really." He asked what my tastes were, my price range, etc. Turns out, he's a distributor. Was telling me the difference between champagne and wine, which ones were dry vs which ones were sweeter, etc. He was really helpful. Even told me how to open a bottle...lol.

yep; I think the popular "Chamgagne" is really sparkling wine. and I think the label tells you how dry it is 'Brut' etc.

we'll be picking up a cheap bottle of something tonight. Hitting up a local sushi joint; mmmmm. Sushi and miso soup.

Careful with that vodka and oj Luv

I'm such an old man sometimes.

QFT! NYE is probably the most overrated "celebration" known to man.

The Mrs and I are going out to dinner with the chiefhusker's and other friends. Prolly hit a party for a while before heading over to a local hangout to listen to a crappy cover band.

Nothing too thrilling, but it's always good to see old friends.

I'd be careful. I've heard that it not only wakes you up, but it gives you wings.

Well, I'm getting all set. Got off of work early, came home, did dishes, took out the trash, and am watching a pitiful MU performance. I'll watch the rest of this game, take a shower, get in my pj's, and fix my first screwdriver.
