Wine Pairings for the Holiday Table

The holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day) are almost upon us – and, certainly, traditional dinners will be the order. Often overlooked, appropriate wine selections are essential to help ensure perfect holiday get-togethers. And it’s never too soon to make those perfect selections. To help, we’ve compiled the following series of wine pairings for classic holiday dishes.

Holiday Wines

2010 Villa Giulia Pinot Grigio
Pairs well with oysters, mussels, shrimp, lobster, artichoke dip, vegetarian entrées, ham with honey, and almost any dessert with strawberries. Light, floral, with a hint of apples.
$15 a bottle $13.50 (case.) Holiday Special $144 case price ($12 a bottle.)

2009 Foxglove Zinfandel
Pairs well with pork, lamb, beef and venison. Wine Advocate stated "A delicious, classic zinfandel, it offers up peppery, briery, wild berry fruit intermixed with damp earth and spice characteristics. Medium to full bodied, delicious, and soft with enough acidity for cleanliness and delineation.
$15 a bottle $13.50 (case.) Holiday Special $144 case price ($12 a bottle.)

2009 Falesco Merlot
Pairs well with steak, pastas with heavy red sauces, and other hearty entrées. Wine Advocate "It is decidedly firm, vibrant Merlot…Here the fruit is wonderfully precise and elegant. Jammy blueberries, blackberries, cinnamon..are woven into a beautiful fabric. This is impressive juice from proprietor Riccardo Cotarella."
$15 a bottle $13.50 (case.) Holiday Special $144 case price ($12 a bottle.)

2009 Côtes du Rhône - Rowe Inn Cuvée (100% Syrah)
Pairs well with turkey, roasted meats, and generally full flavored. Dry medium bodied with earthiness combined with spice.
Normally $16 a bottle $14.50 (case.) Holiday Special $156 case price ($13 a bottle.)

Unsurprising, these wines are available for purchase here at The Rowe Inn. With hectic holiday schedules we’re more than happy to deliver a case or more (from Harbor Springs to Traverse) at no charge.
Also, we give 10% case discounts - and you can mix & match!
