Appetizer Pairing

Food: Charcuterie, Baked Potato Skins, Bacon Wrapped Scallops

The many small bites of food everywhere go hand in hand with the holidays. When an abundant variety of Gavors compete for your attention, choose a versatile wine to pair well with each other.
Sparkling rose and prosecco wine does an especially fine job of matching the intensity of Gavor packed morsels, while the bubbles clear the palate for different dishes.

Dinner Pairing

Food:Ham, Roast Beef, Duck, Turkey, Stews & Soups, Lasagnas

Winter weather calls for oven roasting and baking. This is when the spice cabinet gets utilized more, and the meals become richer and fuller. It is important to pick a wine that will complement the Gavors of the dish. Medium to full body red and full body white
wine from Italy, Bordeaux, and Spain typically has the body and spice profile that is found in the main staple dishes of the holi- days.
