2006 Xmas Dinner Party
19th annual black tie wine dinner Christmas party - the first Christmas dinner in the new dining room. Cher and Paul from Boulder, CO. JM and Jim from Durango, CO. Carol and Dave from here in Mill Valley. Nick from Larkspur and Kara from Sausalito.
The wine star for this year was a 1990 double magnum of Silver Oak Bonney's Vineyard Cabernet. Thanks, Dave! Unfortunately Ernestina came down with the flu so we had a last minute flurry to find Jamie to help us out with serving and cleaning up.
The cake was beautiful and delicious. Cher took care of that this year, as well as arranging the flowers and helping me with the shopping and the table. Thanks, Cher!

The cake recipe is from a 1996 Bon Appetit - cover story. Cher made it and it came out perfect - and delicious.
