The holidays are just around the corner, and you know what that means! It’s time for cozy gatherings, delicious food, and of course, fantastic wine. If you’re hosting this year, you’re probably already planning the perfect menu. But have you thought about the perfect wines to go with it?
Choosing the right wine can transform a great meal into an unforgettable experience. It’s about more than just a drink; it’s about creating moments and memories with the people you love. We believe our wines are the perfect centerpiece for your holiday traditions, bringing warmth and connection to your table.
Ready to find the best holiday wine and food pairings for your celebration? Let’s uncork some festive inspiration!
Lighter Bites and Turkey Time
When your guests arrive, you want to greet them with something that awakens the palate without overwhelming it. For appetizers and the main event—Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey—we can’t recommend our 2024 Elizabeth Chardonnay enough!
This wine is a true crowd-pleaser. It’s bright and lively, with beautiful notes of crisp apple, lemon curd, and a touch of toasted almond that adds a wonderful richness. It’s the perfect companion for a cheese and charcuterie board, light seafood appetizers, or a fresh winter salad.
When it comes to Thanksgiving wines to go with Thanksgiving dinner, the Elizabeth Chardonnay is a star. Its vibrant acidity cuts through the richness of turkey, gravy, and buttery mashed potatoes, cleansing your palate with each sip and making every bite taste as good as the first. It’s a versatile and elegant choice that will have everyone asking for another glass.
For Heartier Holiday Feasts
As the evening progresses and you move on to richer, heartier dishes, it’s time to bring out a bold red. For those prime rib, beef tenderloin, or savory stew main courses, you’ll want a wine that can stand up to those robust flavors.
Our pick? The 2021 Bledsoe Family Winery Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is a powerhouse of flavor, with luscious notes of dark cherry, blackberry, and cocoa, all wrapped up in silky tannins. It’s a rich, full-bodied wine that beautifully complements the deep flavors of roasted meats and savory sauces.
Imagine pouring a glass of this incredible Cabernet as you carve into a perfectly cooked prime rib. It’s the kind of pairing that creates a “wow” moment at the dinner table. This is one of the best Bledsoe Family wines for Christmas dinner, sure to make your celebration feel extra special and luxurious.
Create Your Own Traditions
The holidays are all about making memories. Whether you’re gathering with family you see every week or friends you only see once a year, sharing a bottle of wine is a wonderful way to connect. We love the idea of starting a new tradition by opening a special bottle each year and reflecting on the moments you’ve shared.
From our family to yours, we wish you a holiday season filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
Cheers!
Drew & Josh
