Tasting Notes: With a final average age of more than 30 years, this stunning Vinum Optimum Rare Signatum PX (Pedro Ximenez, the grape varietal) Sherry is an incredible way to finish your Christmas feast. It will take on anything you care to match it with including decadent Christmas cake, butter tarts, ice cream, or whatever sugary temptation you could imagine. Eye: Arresting. Unlike almost any other wine you've ever seen: molasses, black coffee, date juice rim. Nose: heady with sultanas, dates, dried figs, Christmas spices, rum and raisin ice cream. Palate: sensationally smooth, with a wallop of demerara sugar, dried figs, sultanas, candied nuts, and an amazing acidity that somehow balances the overwhelming density. Packs a 'wow' factor like almost nothing else. If you've never tried PX sherry, this is the one to completely spoil you forever!

Tasting Notes: Happy Nondenominational Winter Holiday everyone! Last year the critics raved about this wine, saying it “shows balance, but juicy.” The 2019 vintage is even better. It shows a round juicy palate with loads of dark fruit and texture. The balance comes from its fruit-driven aromas, outstanding mouthfeel, and a touch of tannin for good measure. Pair this easily with steak Frites or just a large glass.

Tasting Notes: Monteverro lies at the foot of the small medieval town of Capalbio on the southern edge of Tuscany in Maremma, a region well-known for its originality and tradition. Vermentino is the white vine variety par excellence of the Tuscan coast, it is used to make fresh, fruity white wines with fine minerality and with the fragrance of summer grasses and blossoms, quince and pear. This Vermentino, aged exclusively in steel, is an expression of Italy’s joie de vivre - a light, delicate white wine, particularly well suited as an apéritif or to accompany seafood. Paired well with a scallop and garden greens salad.

Tasting Notes: Bottega White Gold is a Venezia DOC wine obtained from the vinification of Glera, Chardonnay and Pinot grapes. With its great character, this Brut sparkling wine is fresh and elegant, representing an expression of the territory where grapes are grown, among the provinces of Treviso and Venice. Elegant and refined, it is characterized by fruity hints (mainly apple and peach), delicate floral aromas (hawthorn above all), with a finish of honey notes and a special aromaticity reminding of dried fruit. Soft and captivating, on the palate it creates a perfect balance between the freshness of Glera grape, the body of Chardonnay grape and the acidity of Pinot grape.

Tasting Notes: Bubbles! T'is the season! (although I believe it's always a good time for bubbles!) A blend of Chardonnay (40%), Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier (60%) wines from over 35 different vineyards and vintages matured to perfection. This high proportion of Chardonnay, unique among fine non- vintage champagnes, and a minimum ageing of three years in the cellars, where it reaches the peak of aromatic maturity, makes Taittinger Brut Réserve a delicately balanced champagne, known for its consistently excellent quality all over the world. The bubbles are fine, while the foam is discreet yet lingering. The nose, very open and expressive, delivers aromas of fruit and brioche. it also gives off the fragrance of peach, white flowers (hawthorn, acacia) and vanilla pod.The entry onto the palate is lively, fresh and in total harmony. This is a delicate wine with flavours of fresh fruit and honey. Sante!
