Deck the halls, hang the mistletoe, and don't forget the wine! Wine & spirits flow in abundance during the holidays but you don't have to break the bank to toast the season. Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Brut California Sparkling Wine and Woodbridge 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon are two great options for wines that deliver big flavors at a fair price.
Pleasingly priced at $9.99 per bottle, Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Brut California Sparkling Wine is a budget friendly bubbly that doesn't skimp on quality. Made from 100% Chardonnay grapes,this sparkling wine satisfies with lively flavors of crisp green apple, pear, lemon, and pineapple. The bubbles are on the larger side but gentle on the palate and the flavors linger nicely. Sometimes less expensive sparkling wines scream cheap because they are way too sweet but the Woodbridge is nicely balanced. I love the versatility of the Woodbridge Brut - it stands on its own as a great toasting wine but also pairs nicely with shellfish, chicken, and fruit desserts. This is also a great base for mixing up Bellinis and Mimosas at your holiday brunch! Overall, I think this bubbly is a crowd pleaser.
Rule Number 1 for hosting a successful dinner party - serve good wine. Rule Number 2 - don't run out of that good wine! A magnum of Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon (only $14.99) will make sure that your fête doesn't fall flat! A magnum (1.5 liters) is the equivalent of two standard bottles so buy a few of these to keep the vino flowing. Lightly oaked, Woodbridge Cabernet Sauvignon wows with flavors of dark berries, plums, and a hint of spice. Bold with a smooth finish, it will pair nicely with hearty meats and spicy dishes. A really lovely wine.
