After what I'm certain most would agree has been a chaotic year, it's more important than ever to focus upon some quality time with family and friends.  So on this Christmas Eve day, let me wish those of you who celebrate this landmark holiday a festive, healthy and safe Christmas surrounded by those who are most meaningful to you.  This is the time to focus upon the "good" in life.  

With the year end holidays fast approaching, I thought that it would be fun to poll a few of the chefs in town and ask them which wines they would like to see on their holiday table.  We were fortunate enough to catch up with Doug Levy of Feast (www.eatatfeast.com), Beverage House on East Broadway, Pat Connors from Pastiche (www.pasticheme.com), Kevin Anderson, Cellar Mgr of AJ’s Fine Foods (www.ajsfinefoods.com), Jeff Fuld of Elle (www.ellerestaurant.com) and the always entertaining Jonathan Landeen of Jonathan’s Cork (www.jonathanscork.com).  Just for fun, I threw in a batch of varietals that I would like to see on a holiday table.
