Bring in some Holiday Cheer with the Perfect Wine

When you were little, you remember the days leading up to Christmas. You baked cookies with your parents in the hopes that old Saint Nicholas would bring some holiday cheer. When you woke up, the cookies would be gone and you would find glorious presents under the tree and a giant smile on your face. Well, as you grow older, you experience Christmas a little different. Now, you’re the one preparing for the holiday, wrapping presents for family and friends, and making sure everyone’s checking their list and checking it twice. So, how do you celebrate your hard work? Why not trade in the milk for some delicious wine?
