VINO FOR YOUR HOLIDAY PARTY!
It’s that special time of the year…… The holidays are always a great reason to organize a fun fete amongst family and friends (new and old). So, you have been invited to a holiday party and don’t know what wine to bring. Well…..here are a few suggestions that will make u look like a true wine connoisseur…
BLANCO
Muscadet from France
This wine has a clean and refreshing taste. It’s always a crowd pleaser, which tends to have a juicy and pleasant tartness. Muscadet is meant to be consumed young (meaning 2006) If you want something with extra body look for the words ” sur lie” on the label.
Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand
I am a HUGE fan of “New World” wines because they have a tendency to be more consistent palate wise. Sauvignon Blanc has a mouthwatering taste that will engender many BIG smiles. A brand that I LOVE is “Monkey Bay”….it has never let me down. This is another wine that tastes lovely when consumed young. (2006)
Roja
Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile
Here is another “New World†wine that will make you the talk of any party this holiday season. This wine has a peppery flavor with a twist. Usually, you can purchase this vino for a bargain at any wine shop. Santa Rita 120 would be a good selection…..
Pinot Noir from the US of A
Pinot Noir is always a good choice when u are at a lost with regards to what red wine to select. This vino has the delicious taste of blackberries and black cherries. This is a truly delightful choice for any soiree.
Remember with wine it comes down to what YOU like. There is no real science, just be sure to enjoy yourself and drink responsibly.
