It’s hard to believe but here come the holidays! Tanji rounded up a couple of really nice wines that are very price friendly for entertaining close friends and family. As always, you can get these bottles (and many more!) at your local H-E-B.
Up first, the Joliesse Vineyards Cabernet from Oakville, California. This is an easy-drinking cabernet, light on the tannins and big on the bing cherries. You’ll get some lovely hints of violets in the wine and a slight finish of white pepper. $11
Next, a nice red blend from Sonoma vineyards and the Rodney Strong Sonoma Red Blend ($21). You’ll taste dark cherries plums, blackberries with hints of vanilla and baking spices.
Every celebration needs a bottle of bubbles so, let’s pop a cork with the Brummell Blanc De Blanc Sparkling ($11). We love the tiny bubbles and soft notes of apple and lemon. This sparkling is a bargain so buy a case!
