10 BEST WINES
TO SERVE AT
NEW YEAR

APÉRITIF: RUINART
BLANC DE BLANCS
NV CHAMPAGNE
No celebration is complete without
wine and the same goes for New
Year celebration. Ruinart Blanc de
Blancs is my go-to for the occasions.
The wine is super adaptable at the
table, with notes of lemon curd,
brilliant apple, and almond.

WHITE: ALTA
MORA ETNA
BIANCO 2016
This is a versatile, mineral white
wine made from Carricante, a
white grape from Sicily. This has
all the salty crunchiness you ought
to anticipate from an island wine
yet, in addition, has riper flavors
like dried apple and apricot.

TREANA BLANC
2014
A mix of 45-percent Viognier, 45-
percent Marsanne, and 10-percent
Roussanne, this mind-boggling wine
from California's Central Coast is
full-enhanced with notes of tropical
citrus and stone organic fruits.

RED: VIETTI
BARBERA
D’ASTI TRE
VIGNE 2015
Barbera, the ultimate party wine.
Fiery and flavorful, with notes of
plum, raspberry, violets, and
rosemary, this is a wine that will
Charm both new and old world
consumers.

RED: DAL FORNO
ROMANO
VALPOLICELLA
SUPERIORE 2009
This wine is from one of the top
producers in the Veneto region of
Italy. It is filled with flavors of sugardusted
dark plums, dark cherries,
candied prunes, raisins, dark
chocolate, jammy black fruit, and
spice.

RED: JEAN-
LOUIS CHAVE
SAINT-JOSEPH
"OFFERUS"
SYRAH 2014
This is an entry-level wine at $30.
It is named after the Master of
Syrah, Jean-Louis Chave. It's oldvine
syrah with vibrant red and
black cherry notes up front with
an undercurrent of smoked meat,
charcuterie, and red flowers
underneath.

RED: ETNA ROSSO
"PASSOROSSO"
It is a nice medium-bodied red wine
from Passopisciaro in Sicily. This
wine has many similarities to Pinot
Noir and displays red fruits, orange
oil and has a bright, refreshing finish.

RED:
GRAMERCY
CELLARS THE
THIRD MAN
GSM 2014
This blend of grenache, syrah,
carignan, and mourvèdre comes
from the Washington State
winery. It's a tasty, well-balanced
mix of red berry flavors, leather,
and pepper.

CHAMPAGNE:
FLEURY BLANC DE
NOIRS CHAMPAGNE
Blanc de Noirs is made completely
with red grapes because the use of
red grapes gives more body, power
and structure to the wine.

RED: 2014
NICHOLS
CABERNET
SAUVIGNON
RUTHERFORD
NAPA VALLEY
Britt Nichols is an amazingly
skilled youthful winemaker
with a recognized family.
She created this wine from
fruit, from a historic
vineyard only a short
distance from Caymus and
Staglin. This is mindboggling
wine for the cash,
stacked with blue and dark
organic products, and spiced
dull chocolate French oak."
