Pair with our Traditional Holiday Meal:

Domaine LaRoque Cabernet Franc: All the flavors of cabernet sauvignon without the big tannins or price tag make this wine a holiday hit. Its dark cherry fruits with hints of vanilla bring out the best in a classic feast.

CrossBarn Chardonnay & Pinot Noir: Sonoma Coast fruit is minimally processed to create the fruit-forward flavors in these food-friendly wines. This pair from Paul Hobbs make a great additional to any holiday get-together. 

Henriot Brut Souverain: Sparkling wines are some of the most versatile food wines made today, and this is no exception. The fine mousse, elegant mouthfeel and loads of flavor will elevate any seasonal celebration.

Malene Rosé: Can’t decide which wine will please all your guests? Choose this crowd-pleaser. Made from grapes grown exclusively for rosé wine production, this Gold Medal winner will be the first empty bottle on the table.

Pair with our Contemporary Holiday Meal starring Herb-Crusted Beef Filet:

Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon: Made with grapes sourced from some of the best vineyards in all of Knights Valley, this extreme value wine is plushly textured with dark currant and hints of roasted espresso beans.

Pair with our Contemporary Holiday Meal starring Diestel Turkey:

Siduri Santa Barbara Pinot Noir: Dark plum and damson fruit dominate the latest offering from this venerable pinot noir producer. It definitely deserves a place at the grown-ups’ table. 

Pair with our Contemporary Holiday Meal starring Llano Seco Ham:

Calvet Crémant de Bordeaux: Bordeaux is not typically known for sparkling or rosé wines, yet this is premium pick is both. It’s fun to drink and goes great with anything you put on the table.
