Becky Says: A Festive Selection for Every Celebration
This case was designed with the true spirit of Christmas in mind – bringing friends and family together with wines that spark conversation and enhance every meal. Each bottle was chosen for its distinct character, quality, and the joy it brings to any gathering.
The Crémant de Bourgogne is simply delightful for toasts – it’s elegant but approachable, with fine bubbles and a crisp, refreshing finish. The Iona Sauvignon Blanc, with its cool-climate complexity, is a stunning contrast to traditional holiday fare, while the Bourgogne Blanc Grande Reserve brings that classic Burgundian depth and richness that’s perfect for a winter table.
I love the Chianti Classico from Castello di Meleto – it’s a wine that tells a story of heritage and craft, and its bright cherry flavours are a lovely match for festive roasts. The Cairanne blend from the Rhône is my choice for a bold, warming red; it’s rich and layered, pairing beautifully with anything from cheeses to roast meats. Finally, the Malbec from Viu Manent is a festive gem – deep, smooth, and wonderfully complex, perfect for lingering by the fire as the evening winds down.
This case encapsulates everything I love about wine at Christmas – it’s indulgent yet versatile, familiar yet unique, and each sip is a reminder of why sharing good wine is at the heart of the festive season.
