This crisp Californian white brings a touch of sunshine to your winter table. Made by Patrick Cappiello in the Lodi AVA, it delivers lively notes of key lime, citrus, and a delicate hint of tarragon. Serve it alongside golden latkes topped with sour cream and salmon roe, or pair it with roasted shrimp cocktail for a fresh and easy holiday treat.
2022 ViniVerso Sclopit Rosso
This organic blend of Pinot Noir and Schioppettino showcases wild berries, juicy cherries, and a touch of pepper, rounded out with notes of licorice and balsamic.

Pair it with tamales filled with braised pork or beef brisket with caramelized onions for a flavorful holiday meal.
2023 David Beaupère ‘Let the People Faire la Teuf’
‘Let the People Party’ is a joyful Gamay from Juliénas, Beaujolais, made by Louis Clément David Beaupère. Naturally farmed and fermented in concrete, it bursts with tart cranberry, rhubarb, and a hint of clove spice. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with whole roasted butternut squash stuffed with spiced chickpeas or buttery pigs in a blanket for a crowd-pleasing appetizer.
2022 Occhipinti Rosso SP68
From the sun-drenched vineyards of Vittoria, Sicily, Arianna Occhipinti’s red blend offers notes of strawberry and plum compote with a hint of earthy richness. Pair it with slow-roasted salmon in olive oil or a cheesy, layered lasagna for a comforting holiday meal.
NV Opera 02 Lambrusco di Modena Brut
Made by Mattia Montanari in Emilia-Romagna, this sparkling Lambrusco is a classic choice for winter celebrations. Its dark plum hue and fine bubbles reveal flavors of tart plums and sweet figs, balanced by a dry finish. Pair it with lamb meatballs in spiced tomato sauce or a seared ham and Gruyère sandwich with a touch of Dijon for a festive and indulgent snack.
Vermont Farmstead Vermontoise
This 500 mL Belgian-style farmhouse ale balances earthy yeast flavors with a light, crisp body. Expect subtle notes of clove, honey, and citrus, complemented by a dry finish.
