Wines that Wow – Our Favorite Holiday Pours
Summary
CANARD DUCHENE P181
From their certified organic vineyard P181, Canarde Duchene produced the first organic Champagne in France. Aged for three years, this blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir is golden in hue and delicate with hints of apple, pear, white flowers, and almond on the nose. A great party starter, this wine pairs well with almost anything.
DOMaine laporte sancerre le rochy
From the flinty soils of Sancerre, this lovely Sauvignon Blanc is aged in stainless steel on lees. Pale gold in color, it boasts a high mineral content and a touch of salinity. With notes of passion fruit on the nose and a round liveliness on the palate, it pairs perfectly with young cheeses, white meats, seafood, and vegetables.
frog’s leap “shale & stone” chardonnay
One of our favorites at Good Earth, this wine is full in body, but mineral driven and fresh on the palate. It is aged in concrete and a touch of French oak with creamy lees. Try it with aged cheese, roasted poultry, and vegetables.
quivira black boar zinfandel
This rich Zinfandel is made with grapes sourced from Anderson Ranch and Wine Creek Ranch vineyards, where wild boars roam and nibble on the grapes. Ruby in color, it features earthy notes of plum, blackberry, and currant that lead to dark chocolate and caramel on the palate, with balanced acid in the long finish. This bold pick can stand up to rich meats, stews, and pasta dishes.
aVigonesi vino nobile di montepulciano
Made with 100% Sangiovese from the magical hills of Tuscany, this medium bodied wine features ripe cherry, rich plum, and precise acidity on the palate with balanced tannins. Aged in both Slovenian and French oak, we recommend pairing it with mature cheeses, cured meats, and all things Italian.
