Bring a Special Bottle of California Wine to Your Holiday Party
One of the best ways to show up to a holiday gathering is with a bottle of California wine in hand. But with over 6,200 wineries in the state and more than 100 grape varieties to choose from, picking the perfect wine can feel overwhelming.
A great tip: Look for bottles that feature detailed information about the vineyard or appellation, as this often signifies a higher-quality wine.
And why not bring two bottles? One to open and enjoy at the party, and another as a thoughtful gift for the host. It’s a simple gesture that leaves a lasting impression.
