Best Wine For Gift Giving

Champagne, France- Based on an original bottle design by Emile Galle, this cuvee is distinguished by a high proportion of Chardonnay from the best slopes of the Cotes des Blancs district. The delicacy and elegance of this grape, gives a finesse and bouquet that are truly exceptional.

Champagne, France- "A broad attack signals red berry, honey and underlying citrus flavors, then gathers itself with firm acidity and a chalky texture. This finishes on the dry side, with a lingering honey accent."

Beverage Dynamics-Champagne, France- "Simply gorgeous! A crisp, clean blend of 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay from the famed Bouzy region. Pale gold in color, with a nose of red fruit followed by a lively palate filled with pin-point bubbles that caress the palate into a long, refreshing finish."

Rioja, Spain- Smooth, powerful and complex, featuring ripe cherry and dark plum fruit, accented by notes of chocolate, spice and pepper. Black fruits, mocha and cedar highlight the long elegant finish. Pair with BBQ & Smoked Meats..

James Suckling-Champagne, France - "Lots of saffron and dried pear on the nose with some cooked pear. Full-bodied with layers of fruit and creaminess in the mouth. Firm and bright. Pinot noir and chardonnay. Drink or hold."

James Suckling-Mendoza, Argentina - "This is a rich, dense red with blackberry and blueberry aromas and flavors. Extremely well-crafted tannins. Hints of vanilla to the ripe fruit at the end. Incredible value...already beautiful to taste."

Portugal- Tawny in color with amber edges the nose shows raisin, caramel and spice nuances followed by a smooth and velvety palate filled with toffee and figs. Filed between Ruby and LBV ports, this is the perfect gift for new or seasoned port lovers. Serve with cheese or salted nuts.

James Suckling-California - Sonoma County - A very fine-tannined cab with redcurrants, berries and hints of fresh herb aromas and flavors, with some chocolate and hazelnut. Medium-bodied. Delicious and polished. Drinks beautifully now but can age nicely.
