An iconic Italian red, Riserva Ducale Oro is made from grapes harvested by hand, mostly from Ruffino’s Gretole estate in the Chianti Classico appellation. This wine expresses a distinctive Tuscan bouquet of violet, cherry, and plum, with aromas of chocolate and spice.
Cooper’s Reed Cabernet Sauvignon is a nod to Napa Valley winemaking history and a fresh take on a classic. Made with organic grapes, this Cabernet Sauvignon evolves with each sip and gracefully unfolds on the palate.
“The Brendel Cooper’s Reed Cabernet Sauvignon is a crowd-pleaser for holiday gatherings and an under-the-radar gift comparable to an age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon at twice its price,” says McCoy. “The Cooper’s Reed is a pure expression of the vineyard, a high pedigree wine that is immensely delicious to drink now.”

The 2019 Grand Brut Rosé is light pink in color, with aromas of hibiscus flower, red-sour cherry, and a touch of watermelon, which are complemented with fresh brioche bread and mandarin citrus notes. On the palate, the wine features notes of mandarin, kumquat, citrus fruit, a touch of wet stone minerality, and light cherry flavors that are balanced with Sonoma-Cutrer’s signature acidity. Pair this celebratory sparkler with goat cheese, fruit tarts, or fresh oysters with salmon caviar for a decadent experience.
This red field blend is a walk in the sun and meant to be enjoyed in its youth. A unique perspective of the largest Demeter Certified Biodynamic ranch in Napa, the Andosol has intensity and depth, with incredible aging potential.
“The Ink Grade Andosol is a perfect addition to the holiday table, as it is a versatile red blend that pairs well with a range of entrees and side dishes, such as duck, ham, and potatoes,” says McCoy. “I often recommend this wine without specifying a particular food pairing. The roundness and hint of spicy opulence offer density, without overpowering a dish, making it perennially food-friendly.”

The GlenDronach Distillery recently announced the much-anticipated release of The GlenDronach Grandeur Batch 11, an exquisite example of the brand’s signature richly-sherried Single Malt Scotch Whisky. The GlenDronach Grandeur Batch 11 is a 28-year-old Single Malt hand-selected by Master Blender Rachel Barrie from a small number of rare Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks.
This rare and luxurious expression was matured in fine sherry casks for nearly three decades and epitomizes The GlenDronach’s mastery of sherry cask maturation. It embodies the brand’s commitment to crafting the most exceptional, richly sherried Single Malts, using time-honored methods passed down through the generations for almost two centuries.
A limited number of Grandeur Batch 11 bottles will be available, with each individual bottle sealed with wax and numbered by hand to reflect its rarity. The GlenDronach Grandeur Batch 11 is bottled at 48.9% ABV, and, as is the case for all The GlenDronach expressions, develops its deep color naturally over time from the Spanish oak in which it rests. It is available in the U.S. at a suggested retail price of $800.
After 12 years of maturation in the cellar, this Vintage is quintessential of a Dom Pérignon Rosé, which totes ultimate power and harmony from the meticulous years of aging to achieve its radical expression. The result for the Rosé 2009 is raw power: the red of the pinot noir is radiant and vibrant with aromas of raspberry, fig, strawberry, and cherry, harmonized with the delicate mineral elegance of the chardonnay.
Oxley Gin (SRP: $40) is a one-of-a-kind, London dry gin company which invented its own cold distillation process (which took 8 years and 38 recipes to perfect!) to create wholly unique flavors that you don’t get with most gins, which are typically distilled under heat. This proprietary technology allows Oxley to use fresh frozen citrus peel, instead of the typical dried peel. The result is a sipping experience unlike any other – Oxley gin goes down smooth, but also, each bottle is individually numbered, so the Oxley experience feels more intimate, making it the perfect gift for savvy spirits enthusiasts, and will please the martini lovers at your next holiday gathering.
PATRÓN EL ALTO marks the brand’s first step into the prestige category and demonstrates over four years of craftsmanship, ingenuity and artistry.
As a result of over 300 tastings, legendary Master Distiller David Rodriguez and his talented team of distilling artisans combined an exceptional selection of the best Reposado, Añejo, and Extra Añejo tequilas to create PATRÓN EL ALTO - resulting in a naturally smooth and sweet taste with subtle notes of figs, honey, caramel, dried fruit and vanilla.
PATRÓN EL ALTO is perfect for momentous occasions big and small, packaged in an elegant and distinctive bottle, matching the azure hues of the agave fields in the Jalisco Highlands.
The exceptional tequila is available in select U.S. markets, including New York, Miami, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles at an SRP of $179.
For those with a penchant for gourmet treats, Glenfiddich Single Malt Scotch Whisky and French confectioner Thierry Atlan have crafted an exquisite offering. Their collaboration presents a limited-edition gift box of 12 handcrafted macarons, each one a perfect blend of fine patisserie and luxury Scotch whisky. These macarons are uniquely infused with Glenfiddich Grand Cru, a distinguished single malt matured for 23 years and finished in French Cuvée casks. This extraordinary whisky imparts a symphony of flavors to the macarons, from rich vanilla and sweet brioche to sandalwood, pear sorbet, and white grape, all enveloped in a luscious white chocolate ganache. Priced at $68, these Glenfiddich x Thierry Atlan Grand Cru Scotch Whisky-Infused Macarons are available for purchase online and at Thierry Atlan's Soho Boutique in New York City. They represent not just a gift, but an unforgettable experience for the discerning sweet-toothed foodie this holiday season.
A celebration to live long in the memory, Royal Salute was created to mark the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. On the nose, sweet pears and citrus fruits are balanced with the fragrance of autumn flowers. An elegant blend of vanilla and dry oak is crowned with subtle notes of sherry and just a wisp of smoke. In the mouth, the welcome warmth of orange marmalade and fresh pears is followed by a brave explosion of spices and hazelnut. After the excitement, a trace of smoke lingers.

You have 4 holiday parties in 3 days and are unsure what to bring anyone. The perfect gift is one that can be shared together and something you may be able to enjoy yourself, none other than wine! Not sure what to bring for such an occasion, we’ve rounded up the perfect wines for holiday giving.
The Veuve Clicquot Fridge is an audacious chill box inspired by the refrigerators of the 1950s. Re-edited in collaboration with the pioneering industrial designer SMEG, the Clicquot Fridge is now plastic-free and constructed in recyclable tin, with a removable wedge made from 100% sugarcane waste so that it can be upcycled as a designer box. The Clicquot Fridge keeps any bottle chilled for up to two hours and is infinitely recyclable.
Tenuta Luce, Luce Toscana IGT 2019 ($130), is the flagship wine of the Luce estate in Montalcino, Italy. An iconic Super Tuscan wine born in 1993 from the partnership between Napa legend Robert Mondavi and Vittorio Frescobaldi of the historic Marchese de Frescobaldi family empire of Tuscany. Translating to “Light” this powerful, bold blend of Sangiovese and Merlot will delight everyone with its velvety mouthfeel and a deep, complex flavor profile that displays everything from vanilla and cocoa to a fresh cigar box.
The Merry Meiomi Reds bundle includes three delicious reds from our California-wine portfolio: Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Red Blend. The Cabernet Sauvignon boasts flavors of blackberry, minty herbs, and boysenberry to name a few. The full flavors are highlighted by a plush, velvety mouthfeel with a long finish. Our Pinot Noir is aged for six months in French oak barrels, resulting in an expressive and juicy strawberry flavor with notes of dark berries and toasted mocha. And the newest, the Red Blend, draws you in with its strong flavors of berries, currants, and dark roast mocha, which are accompanied by aromas of toasty oak + vanilla.
The 2021 Rosé of Pinot Noir is a beautiful and delicate example of why Russian River Valley Pinot Noir makes a wonderful rosé. The beautiful, light salmon color of the wine catches the light in the glass and opens up with aromas of tangerine, pink grapefruit, strawberry, raspberry and a light hint of rose petal. A crisp, refreshing mouthfeel accentuates the fresh fruit flavors of citrus, red berry fruit with a tropical twist that leads to a long, juicy and tangy finish. It is the perfect warm weather wine to sip on all summer long.
Castello del Terriccio Lupicaia Toscana IGT 2016 (SRP $150) is a classic Super Tuscan and one of the most iconic Italian wine bottle labels in history. This blend of mainly Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot debuted in 1993 and has since then received numerous international awards. It is a full-bodied, complex wine, with fine aromas of tobacco, dark fruit, chocolate, and spices. With its elegant tannins and a persistent finish, Lupicaia will age beautifully for a very long time.
This holiday season, you can’t go wrong with an earthy Chianti Classico on your dinner table! San Felice’s Poggio Rosso is the perfect Tuscan choice to serve to your guests all season long.
This ruby red wine has a nose that releases scents of dried plum, blackberry, and raspberry. With velvety tannins and a judicious acidity on the palate, it is a wine of extraordinary longevity. It pairs well with grills and barbecues, wild game, and aged pecorino cheese.
Not only is this the perfect wine to serve your friends and family, but it also makes a great gift for any wine lover in your life!
2018 has began with an early sprouting due to high temperatures in March and April, followed by a fairly rainy May. Temperatures have started to rise again since June; summer temperatures in the norm with scattered rains. The month of September in particular saw a succession of sunny days but with a great thermal excursion between day and night, which allowed the grapes a proper phenolic and aromatic maturation
The Pinot Noir grapes come from a highly-coveted vineyard block in Edna Valley, where cooling Pacific night winds create a unique microclimate ideal for ripening. We use low intervention methods championed in old-world regions like Burgundy, resulting in a nuanced and balanced wine that reflects its terroir. Each Juliet Eco-Magnum™ contains two bottles’ worth of wine that stays fresh for six weeks once opened.
