Entertaining friends happens year round, from summer garden parties to New Years celebrations, and everything in between. While summer parties and beautiful summer weather hold a special place in our hearts, parties at any time of year are great to throw and to attend. Two things to keep in mind when you are buying your wine; 1) it should be ready to drink, and 2) it should complement your food. If you’re unsure whether to go with red or white, offering both is an acceptable solution, some people prefer one type over another regardless of the meal. You can find great aperitif wines to serve before the main meal by selecting, “I want to host a cocktail party.” Here are some wines we really enjoy with a fine meal. If you have a specific meal in mind, browse our wines by food pairing and find the perfect wine.
