During the hectic Holiday Season we often entertain with dinner parties and open houses. This is a great time to offer up a selection of beverages to accommodate everyone’s pallet. We have selected a few of our favorites, sure to please the diverse preferences of your guests. If you prefer beers or want to mix it up with wine and beer, please see Holiday Beer Selection. If you prefer cocktails, see our beverage section for great options on martinis, margaritas and other favorites. Each option is sure to make it easier to select an assortment of beverages so you can enjoy the Holiday Season.
Red wines should be served at cave temperature and not room temperature. Cave temperature is 58 degrees. White wines and sparkling wines should be served at 48 degrees which is not icy cold or cave temperature. Basically if you take it out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes it should be right. If served too cold, they won’t have much flavor. Drink responsibly and enjoy!
