What makes a wine a Holiday wine? Does this wine have exceptional value? Does it pair well with food or just fine on it’s own either before or after the meal? Is it just great quality regardless of price? I guess everyone has a different view of Holiday Wine. Our focus for this newsletter is to present a variety wine that will pair well with a variety of different types of foods to fit everyone’s unique traditions and to have some wines that are just great on their own. Our featured section of Champagne and Rhone embodies this beautifully. There is no better way to ring in the Holidays than with a bottle of Champagne; it is the quintessential apéritif and even works well with lighter fare. The wines of the Rhone valley are most at home with heavy rich roasts and stews that so many of us will be enjoying this Holiday season.
