Great holiday wines for 2011

As we approach the Christmas and New Year's holidays it is always good to have a "go to" list of wines to choose from whether they be for your own large gatherings or those you may be attending at friend's or family's homes. When with large groups it is always fun to seek out alternative size bottles, large formats like magnums and larger are a nice treat as they allow all to have more than just a taste or one glass of wine. Small bottles too like 187ml bottles of sparkling or champagne or half bottles of still or sparkling wine strike a festive tone when placed at each spot at the table or when floated in an ice bucket. This time of year we stock up on these big and small bottles to accommodate our customer's desire for the fun factor at their parties.
