Sommeliers know that holiday celebrations demand wines with both elegance and versatility. This collection journeys across six distinct wine regions—from Germany's Mosel to Australia's Barossa Valley—featuring a rare mature Châteauneuf-du-Pape, wines from California's Sonoma Coast and Oregon's Willamette Valley, and Austria's finest Grüner Veltliner. Six bottles that complement, rather than compete with, the season's rich, festive cuisine.
