You will Love
When it comes to wine and food pairings, match like with like.
A light-bodied white like Pinot Grigio or Chenin Blanc, for example, pairs well with delicate fish or chicken dishes.
You might prefer a more robust, bolder red wine like Malbec or Cabernet Sauvignon if you're serving prime rib, ham, or lamb with equally rich sides.
If you're having turkey and all the fixings for Thanksgiving, a decent Pinot Noir or Gewürztraminer would usually suffice.
Read on for our picks for the greatest Christmas wines this year, ranging from traditional to contemporary flavors.
Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
If you're serving lobster thermidore, crab legs, or scallops in white wine sauce for a special occasion, you'll need a wine that can handle the heat.
This buttery, oaked Chardonnay complements those tastes while remaining crisp enough to cut through the fat and prepare your palate for the next bite.
Chianti Classico Riserva
If all you know about Chianti is that movie line, you need to get your hands on this bottle right away.
Fans of dry, full-bodied red wines will enjoy its cherry, plum, and woodsy characteristics.
To get the party started, serve with pasta and red sauce, an Italian-inspired Christmas dinner, or alongside the appetizer spread.
Beaujolais Villages 2020
This lighter-bodied red, with raspberry, strawberry, and citrus notes, pairs beautifully with almost anything.
Pork loin, ham, or lamb chops are all good options.
This is a robust white with butterscotch, lemon, and apricot flavors made from a blend of Chardonnay, Roussanne, Viognier, Chenin, Blanc, Muscat, and Vermentino.
Serve it alongside creamy foods like alfredo spaghetti or macaroni and cheese.
Lambrusco
With a meal of spaghetti, it has a sweet taste.
To bring out the little bubbles, serve it slightly cold.
