Michael’s Holiday Wine Picks
AUSTIN HOPE CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Rated 94 points by wine enthusiast
“Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon is a cherished California wine with a rich ruby hue, offering notes of black cherry, burnt sugar, and subtle smokiness. The palate showcases evolving flavors of vanilla, ripe dark fruit, roasted coffee, and hints of spice. It pairs wonderfully with our delectable USDA Prime steaks.”
EMILIO MORO RIBERA DEL DUERO TEMPRANILLO
RATED 94 POINTS BY WINE ENTHUSIAST
“A favorite wine served at my wedding, the 100% Tempranillo from a family-run estate impresses with dense black raspberry and currant flavors, complemented by a hint of tobacco. Its velvety texture and lingering finish make it versatile, pairing well with red meat, chicken, or pork.”
LACAÑA ALBARINO
RATED 92 POINTS BY JAMES SUCKLING
“This fresh and zesty wine bursts with lime, nectarine, and green apple flavors, complemented by hints of green herbs. Its excellent texture and vibrant acidity make it pure and pristine, ideal for pairing with seafood or enjoying on its own.”
BUENA VISTA CABERNET SAUVIGNON
RATED 94 POINTS BY JAMES SUCKLING
“This wine captivates with blueberries, currants, hazelnuts, and mint chocolate aromas. Its plush and smooth tannins create a creamy, full-bodied texture. Ready to drink, it pairs beautifully with red meat, grilled vegetables, and rich cheese dishes.”
SAN MARZANO SESSANTANNI PRIMITIVO DI MANDURIA
RATED 99 POINTS BY LUCA MARONI
“My cousin Chad’s favorite wine, boasting an intense and elegant ruby red color. Its ample and complex fruity fragrance reveals hints of plum, cherry jam, and tobacco, with a touch of spice. This full-bodied wine delights with soft tannins and a finish featuring notes of cocoa, coffee, and vanilla. Perfectly paired with richly flavored first courses or red meat.”
