Wine for the holidays
Christmas and New Year are the time to open something special. Here is how to build a festive menu, from aperitif to dessert.
Aperitif
Champagne or crémant, or for something different a Vermouth di Torino on ice with a slice of orange.
Starter and fish
With oysters, scallops or smoked salmon: a pure champagne, a Riesling Grand Cru or a Verdicchio Riserva.
Main course
With game, turkey or a festive cut of meat: Barolo, Brunello, Amarone or Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Open big reds an hour ahead.
Dessert and cheese
A Moscato d'Asti with dessert, a Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives with foie gras or blue cheese, and a grappa with coffee.
