This is a continuation of a thread on Rob's boards.
I am a riesling aficionado. I'll drink it off the shelf, but it's actually supposed to sit for a long time, 20 years in some cases. I've only tried it properly aged once, and I was in Germany at the time.
I'll be picking up a Jadot beaujolais and a Mondavi chardonnay to celebrate the season. As well as a bottle of Myers's Dark Rum to spike the eggnog.

I like riesling, too. I've never had a riesling aged more than 5 years, though. I generally prefer a German sweet riesling (spatlese or auslese), but lately I've been trying riesling from Alsace which is more dry. This is what I have in the fridge now, along with a bottle of shiraz and a bottle of Chimay. The shiraz is for tomorrow night (roast beef for dinner); the riesling for Sunday (turkey); the Chimay for -- oh, any time.  Oh, I'm also "re-gifting" a bottle of White Zinfandel that my grandmom gave me on Thanksgiving. |

I intended to age some wine, but I always drink it. My favorite is French Bordeaux. I've had several bottles of 2000 vintage over the past few years, which I intended to keep until 2006 or so, but they... didn't make it. Dead French soldiers in the recycling bin.
My favorite Christmas season liqueur is Green Chartreuse. I don't know why, I just gave it a try about ten years ago, and it became a sort of tradition. It's very pungent, and an acquired taste, but I recommend it. It's a great thing to sip on when the world is frozen in the darkest part of winter...
