Cheryl:
My thought is for you to have *some* of the Zinfandel. If you don't have it on New Year's Eve , you may brood about it, and then take revenge on yourself the next day. The wine isn't much in the carb category: I think its something like .8 for 3 ounces. But I would have it all on New Year's Eve itself -- and let New Year's Day be a clean LC day. 'Getting ready' to begin might include being very good on your food for the day, but giving youself a celebration Send-Off with a few glasses of wine. I have a small split of champagne that I am going to have New Year's Eve myself.
