That chill in the air? It means we’re entering the holiday gathering season. For those of us who think about wine day in and day out, it’s also a sign to begin thinking seriously about what bottles to pour at those festive events. A word of warning: Not all wines are suitable for holiday gatherings. Appropriate bottles are crowd pleasers, able to bring together disparate groups of people who might not otherwise choose to imbibe together. They elevate feasts brimming with seasonal fare, whether that’s a glistening honey-glazed ham or a sizzled pile of oil-slicked latkes. Perhaps they have the potential to become a hot commodity during a heated game of White Elephant. They’re certainly worthy of being wrapped carefully and presented to a harried holiday host, who—let’s be honest—is probably in need of a drink. Whether it be for Thanksgiving dinner or a black-tie holiday party, here are excellent bottles recommended by Wine Enthusiast’s Tasting Department—for every budget.
