Party-hosting season is here, and we’re all going to need a glass of wine in our hand. These celebratory picks will get the party going and won’t make your wallet feel drained. As always, all of these bottles (and many more!) can be found at your local
H-E-B.
Up first is a red wine from Sicily that I always have on hand when I entertain. This is the Settesoli Red Blend of Nero D’avola and Syrah. It’s smooth, easy-drinking, and will please the whole crowd. At an extremely affordable price tag, this one is worth buying a case. ($13)
Next, it’s all about the bubbles—it is the holidays, after all! From the well-respected Cordoniu family in Spain comes the Codorníu Cuvée Clasico Cava. This fruit-forward sparkling is crisp, dry, and incredibly priced, which makes it the perfect party wine. ($9)
Last is the Cuvée Deor Gold Collection. This Prosecco from Collio, Italy, is made with Moscato grapes, so it’s beautifully floral on the nose and sweet on the palate. It’s perfect for pairing with desserts of all kinds or sipping before dinner. ($13)
