Unfiltered, Unfined

Wine has been with us since the early days of civilization. In some ways wine is a shorthand for culture itself, and it is always a profitable use of time to review the tried-and-true. So I thought I’d put together a list of wines I’ve recently tried that will work with various elements of traditional holiday feasts.

The holidays are indeed upon us, and I’ve already received a lot of questions just like yours, asking advice on sparkling wine where food is an integral part of the query. Perhaps this is because we tend to most associate the season with traditional smells and tastes. That’s certainly true this year as well, but the currently shaky economy has also led us to seek value over luxury, even in celebration.
