I assume this is a silly question given this is wine berserkers but, has anyone else planned ahead for their holiday wine lineup? My family celebrates Christmas and I have my Christmas Eve lineup planned ahead. We don’t have a lot of wine aficionados, but we do have a number of people who enjoy good wine. I also don’t have the bank account to bring any Petrus, La Tache, etc. I am keeping it fairly simple and straightforward and hopefully bringing something everyone will like. Here is the lineup I will be bringing:
2016 Groth Cabernet Sauvignon
2019 Aubert Pinot Noir UV-SL
2019 Aubert Chardonnay CIX
2005 Joh Jos Prum WS Spatlese
2005 Joh Jos Prum WS Auslese
Most of us are Pinot and Riesling drinkers, but my aunt and uncle are big Groth fans so I will bring a botte of that as well. It’s not my favorite, but tis the season for giving. Others will be brining wine and most will probably bring a Cabernet so I thought I would go with less Cab.
If you are celebrating any holidays this month or even if you aren’t, what lineup are you brining to your next group gathering?
Edit- I should also say most of the guests drink almost 100% US based wines so I try to keep it basic for them
