NEW Lot 189 Reserve Prosecco Superiore

Why we love it: 

• This wine makes a great aperitif and pairing for a spread of different appetizer bites. 
• Prosecco cuts through anything rich and heavy, creamy and/or fatty and works as a palate cleanser so that your taste buds can start fresh for the next dish. 
• This wine can be enjoyed from beginning (appetizer) to end (dessert). 

Lot 126 Sancerre

Why we love it: 

• Sancerre is a delicate and crisp white wine that is easily drinkable and made from Sauvignon Blanc. 
• Pairs well with appetizers, oysters and a light meat entrée, such as a chicken dish. 

Lot 158 Beaujolais

Why we love it:

• This young red wine is abundantly fruity and texturally soft and pleasing. 
• Benefits from chilling the bottle a little bit if you favor a slightly chilled and refreshing red wine. 
• Answers the question, “what can I drink with seafood for a red wine?” 

Lot 148 Cabernet Sauvignon 

Why we love it: 

• Easy to pair with most main dishes at a dinner party and also easily enjoyed on its own. 
• Would be a fabulous wine to bring as a gift to the hostess.

DOs and DONTs of Dinner Parties

• DO bring something crowd-friendly 
• DO set a budget for yourself  
• DONT bring a wine to a party and open it yourself
• DONT bring a wine to a party that you’re not willing to share with others
