We also wanted to include our favorite wine & holiday food pairing suggestions for you to try from our featured Holiday Wines. Starting with Red Carriage, this semi-sweet, light-bodied wine is perfect to serve with your holiday turkey or ham dinner, but also plays well with chicken, pizza, tomato-based pasta dishes, strong cheeses, and berry-based or chocolate desserts. Wow your guests or surprise your host with this sweet cranberry wine. Secondly, we have our Home Sweet Home, which is an apple pie-infused semi-sweet white wine that offers enticing aromas and flavors of a freshly baked homemade apple pie and traditional holiday spices. Enjoy this wine chilled to accompany your holiday meals. Third, we have our Holiday Chardonnay: fruity, this wine opens with a ripe pear aroma and delivers golden delicious apple and understated citrus notes with a clean finish. Serve this with your appetizers, specifically with seared tuna, Caesar salad, ham, barbecue chicken, and Brie or mild cheeses for that perfect contrast of flavor. Finally, our Holiday Cabernet Sauvignon, a medium-bodied wine that offers a familiar earthy aroma paired with forward berry tones that are nicely balanced with oak and followed by an enjoyable savory finish. We suggest pairing this wine with rich meats, buttery sauces, savory vegetable dishes, sharp cheeses, and dark chocolate desserts.
