My wife came and visited the board, did some research, and got me a Durand and a while not 100% wine related it is for us - gift card to flannerys - I am excited to use. Very good job by her.

OTOH, I got some giant wine glass decoration (which actually i will put in cellar to hold corks) , wine for dummies book, Decoy Merlot and some other Cali Merlot from well intended family and friends.

Decanter drying stand, and some bourbon/scotch-related gifts (glacier rocks, bourbon flavored coffee, and an enormous bottle of Woodford Reserve).

I pulled out mine last night for some friends that were interested in learning more about wine. It’s a great tool!
Personally, the Wine Faults kit was really helpful to me in identifying characteristics of wine that I couldn’t quite put my finger on.

46

A bottle of Cremant de Bourgogne
A gift certificate to total wine and more (Likely get some vintage krug or maybe some red burg)
Some sort of wine perserver thing
A book about Champagne
A book about soil science and viticulture
