Deck your table with reds & whites.
This is the season for uncorking your next favorite wine. Guests at holiday parties large and small can gather around to explore festive wine and cheese pairings, and the right glass can enhance any main dish. Whatever you’re serving this season, we suggest matching the intensity of the dish with the wine. Lighter fare calls for lighter-bodied wines, while richer foods can handle medium- to full-bodied varieties.

Chateau d’Esclans Whispering Angel Rosé
Flavor profile: Light-bodied fruity red wine. Dry and smooth. Fresh red berry characteristics with floral notes. Ripe and fleshy feel on the palate.
Pair it with feta cheese.
Why it works: Rosés are versatile, but consider a piquant feta cheese to embrace the region
this wine was made for: the Mediterranean. This salty cheese can range from robust to mild, so
choose something on the softer side made with cow’s milk to even out the finer tannins of
Chateau d’Esclans Whispering Angel Rosé.
Pair it with a rack of lamb.
Why it works: An easygoing red with finer tannins such as Chateau d’Esclans Whispering Angel
Rosé is a bright contrast to the lamb without overpowering its more delicate flavor.
Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon
Flavor profile: Full-bodied red wine. Notes of blackberry, plum, dark chocolate, and violets. French oak–inspired hints of vanilla and spice.
Pair it with blue cheese.
Why it works: A sharp and salty blue cheese with a fine mold can compete with the similarly
deep flavor profile of a full-bodied red.
Pair it with a rib roast.
Why it works: A classic rib roast’s rich, savory flavors play nicely with the equally robust flavors
of a deep, velvety red such as Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon.
La Crema Pinot Noir
Flavor profile: Medium-bodied red wine. Notes of red plum, raspberry, and blood orange. Hints of spice and toast.
Pair it with Gruyère.
Why it works: Fruity pinot noir is classically paired with earthy Gruyère, and with good reason—the firmness of a nutty cheese like Gruyère creates a pleasant contrast with softer reds like La Crema Pinot Noir.
Pair it with center-cut boneless pork.
Why it works: Pork is best with medium- to light-bodied wines with notes of fruit and a low
tannin count—think relaxed reds. La Crema Pinot Noir’s plush texture, fine tannins, and
balanced acidity harmonize with flavorful, umami-rich pork.
Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay
Flavor profile: Medium-bodied white wine. Notes of stone fruit, vanilla-laced oak spice, toasted nuts, and light caramel. Hints of cinnamon and cloves with an underlying light floral note.
Pair it with baby Swiss cheese.
Why it works: Baby Swiss cheese is smooth with a buttery, nutty flavor that maximizes the sweet
stone fruit flavors of this chardonnay.
Pair it with a baked ham.
Why it works: Choose an oaky chardonnay to go with a luscious, salty-sweet baked ham.
Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay has a delicate sweetness to match this dish and a bright acidity
to round out the finish.
Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc
Flavor profile: Light-bodied white wine. Intense notes of citrus, lemongrass, and white peach. Characteristics of fresh-snipped greens and citrus with a hint of tropical fruit.
Pair it with goat cheese.
Why it works: This pairing invites you to enjoy similar flavor experiences and contrasting
textures. Tangy, soft goat cheese meets Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc’s bright acidity for a
match made in heaven.
Pair it with a roasted turkey breast.
Why it works: Choose a light-and-fruity white to cut through the flavors of a tender, generously
seasoned turkey breast. Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc is sophisticated with a bright character
and crisp finish to complement a turkey dinner.
Veuve Clicquot Brut
Flavor profile: Medium-bodied, dry champagne. Notes of white cherry and toast with hints of lemon vanilla.
Pair it with Brie cheese.
Why it works: Play on the textures of crisp champagne and creamy Brie. The Veuve Cliquot Brut
cuts through the buttery softness of the Brie for a richly paired duo.
Pair it with a roast chicken.
Why it works: A crisp bubbly livens up the succulent, roasty flavors of an herbed chicken. Make a
traditionally simple dinner sparkle with a dry champagne such as Veuve Cliquot Brut.
