Well actually since talking to KQ, it appears I'm more of a Saturnalia guy, but anyway it's the holiday season, so one gets to drink more than one might normally. Bought my first magnum of good french today and am anchoring it with a couple of other worthy bottles. This half-jew atheist is quite looking forward to xmas day 2017, the kids coming from Boston and Munich, and cracking these babies!
What reds are you folks drinking this Saturnalia?
I found this description of this celebration: "during Saturnalia there was a general round of feasts, partying, game playing and merrymaking for all". Sounds about right!

Reds--whatever my wife bought cheap at Traders. Will definitely sip some of the overpriced bourbon my kid gave me last xmas. I save that for special occasions.

I've been buying Amarone at wtso.Com. as normally is too expensive, but found good deals.
Love the wine.

Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able,
Lighting trees in darkness, learning new ways from the old, and
Making sense of history and drawing warmth out of the cold.“When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something. To do something." Rep. John Lewis

Yeah KQ! That's awesome. A hand drum played by me with her would sound pretty good. KQ Claus can you line that up in 2018 for me please? Oh, and your gift ideas.... pure wondrous perfection.

Pretty sure they are the only importer. Best bet it contact them. Google both spellings!!
That is a dark red, there is also a rose.
