I want to say happy birthday to Meg, I know she is going to have a great time celebrating with all her friends. I wish I could be there, but things need to be accomplished here at home. I miss my wife, but I&#8217;m glad she&#8217;s having a good time and I look forward to her return home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am getting prepared to shoot a couple of episodes on wine that matches up nicely with prime rib, my personal choice for Christmas dinner. I think the first will focus on value wines that won&#8217;t bust the budget. I will also shoot an episode with some big reds that may cost a little more for those of you that like to have something a little special.  I know some of you like to have a Christmas ham. An episode will be dedicated to wines for that meal as well. If a turkey is your choice, check out one of my episodes for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a3I4AOfubhc\">Thanksgiving here<\/a>.  Stay tuned for my focus on sparkling wines for the holidays as well. Fun stuff to look forward to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am working hard on my top forty wines under twenty bucks list. I have my choices nearly completed and it should be out there to view soon. I believe I have my winery of the year nailed down as well and I will be writing up an article on that which you will see in a couple of weeks. It took me a while to decide on who should get that honor, but I&#8217;m confident that the choice is well deserved. This winery is putting out quality wine at a fair price, exactly the criteria I use for my decision. I know you are excited to find out. Soon my friends, soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stan The Wine Man<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My wife Susie is in London spending quality time with her best friend Meg.
