What to serve with what you’re serving

Xmas TableHoliday Wine Pairings

To get the celebration started (on its own or with Hors d’ Oeuvres):
The holidays are all about celebrating with friends and family and what better way to add cheer to the season than with first-rate bubbly.

Lallier Grand Cru Brut Champagne
Le Mesnil Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut

For your Filet:
What pairs best with beef tenderoin – some say Merlot, some say Burgundy, we say you it’s hard to go wrong with a fantastic Cabernet or even a wonderful 2010 Barolo! And though our shelves are stocked with so many superb choices, we’ve boiled it down to a few stellar picks:

Fratelli Alessandria Barolo 2010
Fratelli Alessandria Barolo Monvigliero 2010
Cadence Winery Tapteil Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Decoy Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Sonoma Cutrer Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2012
90+Cellars Sonoma Lot 106 Pinot Noir 2012
Mouton Noir Other People’s Pinot 2012

Whether you’re serving Roast Leg of Lamb or a Roasted Rack of Lamb, enjoy with a fantastic Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend, a classic Bordeaux, an earthy Chianti Classico, or a flavorful Reserva Rioja.

Roast Turkey, Chicken or Goose
Again we will choose simplicity instead of throwing out too many choices – so here we’ll opt for Oregon Pinot Gris and Oregon Pinot Noir. But for you beer drinkers a Chimay is a great choice (especially with Goose).
