The holiday season is in full-swing! Whether the dinner table will be set with traditional favorites or a few new dishes, we have just the right wine choices to help bring your festive meals to life.
Like holiday gifts, the options are bountiful. Go with the crowd pleasers, and consider having at least one red and one white available so everyone can enjoy a glass of wine with their holiday dinner. For instance, if you are having turkey, consider choosing a Riesling and Pinot Noir, or any other combination.
If you're unsure of which ones to pick up, you're in luck. Jack just released his 2017 favorite wines in this year's Haskell's Hundred list. You can't go wrong with any of these, and they're all retailed under $100!
While the wines in this year's Haskell's Hundred are highly recommended, the list doesn't indicate which ones make for the best pairings, so we wanted to give some further guidance in the spiriting of holiday giving. Turkey is an easy dish to pair with wine because it doesn't have strong flavors, so almost anything will do. Here are some of our favorites:
Ham can be salty and even a little overpowering, but these wines will pair nicely.
As for Jack's #1 wine selection on Haskell's Hundred List? Well, let's just say you could enjoy this one for Thanksgiving, Hannukah, Christmas Eve, or just a Friday night with your loved one.
Introducing: Savigny Les Beaune Premier Cru Hospices de Beaune Cuvée Fouquerand 2014 - Jack says this Burgundy pairs with roasted chicken, game, or wild mushroom risotto.
Cheers!
