The Chardonnay from Kendall Jackson’s Vintner’s Reserve is a white wine which contains a lovely combination of smoke and fruit. It is balanced and full bodied. The quality and distribution of this is really good. The wines from this manufacturer are priced reasonably.

The Sauvignon Blanc Napa valley from St. Supery is priced at $18. The palate is defined by the citrus fruits including lime, lemon as well as orange. It has many spunk – slate, earth as well as balanced acidity. It provides familiarity, vibrancy and elegance in ample to the holidays.

The Pinot Gris from Eola Hills is terrific for its flavour as well as price. The main characteristic of this white wine is its crisp apple and honeyed pears flavour.

The Cabernet Sauvignon form McManis Family Vineyard is a wow normally with all the guests in a holiday party, more specifically if the price is revealed on the bottle. The garnet-coloured red wine has lots of cherry and blackberry in its palate. The re wine has acoffee finishing and a dominant definition of the tannins, which makes it a perfect party wine.
