Choose the Best Wine For Your Christmas Dinner

Nothing enhances a great Christmas dinner like serving the right wine. Just as you have many options when putting together your Christmas feast, you also have an abundance of delectable wines from which to choose. Serve your family and friends the right wines to complement the food you serve for a tasteful and satisfying Christmas dinner experience.

Champagne

Champagne is a very versatile wine which can pair with almost any entrée. Sir Winston Churchill was known to drink Champagne with nearly every dinner and is commemorated with a special bottling from his favorite Champagne house. If your main entrée is on the hearty side then pick up a rosé Champagne that can even be a nice match for a standing rib roast.?

Cabernet Sauvignon 

It is the perfect match to our beef rib roast with roasted potatoes. This grape is popular around the world but some of the best come from Bordeaux’s left bank. Look for Médoc or Haut-Médoc on the label to find blends made predominately from Cabernet Sauvignon. World-class Cabernet also comes from the United States with Napa Valley and Washington State making many highly regarded wines.

Full-bodied Whites

Not everyone enjoys red wines so you might need a full-bodied white wine for some at the table. Chardonnay is probably the most well known variety making rich and powerful wines that can stand up to hearty dishes. Fine Chardonnay is made in most every wine producing region with notable examples from California’s Napa and Sonoma Valleys, Australia and even Italy.
