Wine Crazy for the Holidays

December 18, 2008 



Big, lavish reds and celebratory sparklers set the proper holiday tone.   

My favorite red wine this year is the 2004 Gagliole Rosso, a Super Tuscan blend of cabernet and sangiovese.  This full body wine spicy and full body has dark red berry fruit with the Runners up are Flora Springs Trilogy, D’arenberg’s “Dead Arm” Shiraz, Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars Merlot and the Cape Mentelle Cabernet Merlot. On sale at Wines.com.  

To toast the new year, we recommend these two champagnes, the Scharffenberger Brut from Anderson and the Deutz Brut from France.  On sale at Wines.com.
