2. Champagne!
It will be a celebration of justice!

The only champagne I like is brut, so that will just have to do. :P

12. Moet Chandon?
White star? It is pretty good too. Wouldn't it be amazing if Cheney actually had to pay for his crimes?

22. Vice president, former AG, state senator indicted
http://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/stories/2008/11/17/daily26.html



Vice president, former AG, state senator indicted 18 Nov 2008 A South Texas grand jury has indicted Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on charges related to the alleged abuse of prisoners in Willacy County's federal detention centers. The indictment criticizes Cheney's investment in the Vanguard Group, which holds interests in the private prison companies running the federal detention centers. It accuses Cheney of a conflict of interest and "at least misdemeanor assaults" on detainees by working through the prison companies. Another indictment charges state Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr. with profiting from his public office by accepting honoraria from prison management companies.

Grand jury indicts Cheney, former AG 18 Nov 2008 Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales have been named in a South Texas grand jury indictment on charges related to the alleged abuse of prisoners being detained in Willacy County federal detention centers, The Associated Press said. Willacy County is located in South Texas and includes the cities of Lyford, Raymondville and San Perlita.

17. You know what is good? Bonterra, Cabernet Sauvignon.
It has berry flavors and a nice body, is organic and usually under $15. It doesn't come in a box though.

16. 2001 Domaine Forey Pere et Fils Morey St Denis 1er Cru
Full deep red. Complex aromas of raspberry, cherry, gunflint, coffee and underbrush; distinct suggestion of briary wild berries. Sweet, layered and fruity; expressive fruit complicated by notes of roast coffee, mocha and smoke. Here the tannins are sweeter. Another example of a Morey-Saint-Denis wine that's unusually promising in 2001. It's also only $46/bottle.

I considered the 2004 Domaine de la Romanee Conti La Tache ($1430) but I'm going to save that for the inauguration.

20. I found it at a wine shop in Hartford, CT...
called Spiritus. They do a lot of charity wine-tasting fundraising events here in CT.

Also, I have to admit...it's not my description, it's wine-critic Stephen Tanzer's. I plagiarized it off the website of the retailer.
