The blog is off today for New Year’s, but will return tomorrow with our usual features. We’ll announce the second annual Wine Curmudgeon Cheap Wine of the Year on Thursday and the 2019 $10 Hall of Fame will post on Friday.

Today, one way to start your new year: Fair warning: It hurt me just watch it, and it’s only 15 seconds long (video courtesy of Once Upon a Wine via YouTube).

Happy New Year from the Wine Curmudgeon.
