2024’s Top Wines for Christmas Dinner

Fri, Dec 27, 24

With just a few days left until Christmas, it’s important to finalize all the last-minute preparations to ensure the best holiday celebration. Among all the details for your Christmas dinner, the right wine can make all the difference in your gathering as it can amplify all the delicious food you’ll be serving. Here are some exceptional wines that complement every course of your holiday feast, all available at our wine and liquor store near you.


Bubbly


The sound of a champagne cork signals the start of festivities. For your Christmas dinner, pair appetizers with the Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut Champagne, whose crisp apple notes and brioche aromas pair wonderfully with smoked salmon or a lobster bisque.

For something different, Champagne Palmer & Co. Brut Réserve brings bright and zesty flavors to dishes like scallop ceviche or oysters Rockefeller. These sparkling wines add elegance and excitement to your holiday table.


White Wines


White wines are the perfect partners for seafood and lighter fare. A chilled Rombauer Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc enhances dishes like crab cakes or lobster thermidor with its crisp profile.

For fresh and lively flavors, try Duckhorn Sauvignon Blanc, which complements a shrimp cocktail or a pear and goat cheese salad. These whites make for a refreshing balance to your meal’s lighter courses.


Red Wines


As the main course arrives, red wines step into the spotlight. A Justin Cabernet Sauvignon pairs exquisitely with rich dishes like rosemary-braised lamb shanks or a Christmas ham.

If you prefer something easier, Decoy Merlot’s velvety textures and dark fruit flavors enhance the tenderness of a prime rib. Whether bold or smooth, these reds add warmth and depth to your holiday feast.


Dessert Wines


Desserts taste even better when they’re paired with the right wine. Graham’s Six Grapes Reserve Port is a classic choice, complementing chocolate ganache tarts or Christmas pudding with its sweetness.

For fruitier desserts like apple pie or raspberry pavlova, the balanced sweetness of Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling is a great choice. These dessert wines ensure a satisfying end to your meal.


Organic Wines


For an environmentally friendly option, explore organic wines that pair beautifully with holiday classics. Altosur Sophenia Cabernet Sauvignon Tupungato Mendoza brings out the savory notes of herb-roasted turkey. Organic wines are a great choice for those who prefer pure and authentic flavors for their holiday table.


Hidden Gems


Add a sense of adventure to your dinner with wines from emerging regions. Lievland Old Vines Chenin Blanc offers acidity which makes it an excellent match for pork belly or peri-peri chicken. For a delicate touch, Domaine Comte Abbatucci Rosé pairs beautifully with duck breast in cherry sauce or wild mushroom risotto.
