bump with the last few tastings of the year.

Just in case you're not familiar with Grand Cru, it's a delightful little shop that I definitely recommend. Not only do I enjoy it, but friends I've invited in the past have become regulars, especially at thr wine tastings. We always find at least a few bottles we want to take home with us -- and a couple of wines from past tastings have become favorites. And Craig is great at matching wines with foods, should you need guidance with picking something for a special meal.
