That would be <a href=\"https:\/\/vinoshipper.com\/shop\/gervasi_vineyard\/piove_raining_112637\">Piove<\/a> for white wine and <a href=\"https:\/\/vinoshipper.com\/shop\/gervasi_vineyard\/truscano_italian_tribute_112649\">Truscano<\/a> for red wine.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-31301 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gervasivineyard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Wine-Blog.jpg\" alt=\"Gervasi Vineyard holiday wine gift box featuring Truscano and Lucello wines with red ribbon and seasonal decorations\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-13\">\u201cWe have a quite a few <a href=\"https:\/\/gervasivineyard.com\/the-marketplace\/gift-baskets-2\/wine-gift-boxes\/\">wine boxes available<\/a> to choose from!

If you know the recipient likes a dry red, find out if they are more of a fruity wine drinker or enjoy a more earthy wine. For a more fruit-forward dry red, I would select <a href=\"https:\/\/vinoshipper.com\/shop\/gervasi_vineyard\/zinzin_112653\">Zin Zin,<\/a> but for a more earthy wine,\u00a0 I would go with <a href=\"https:\/\/vinoshipper.com\/shop\/gervasi_vineyard\/nebbiolo_112651\">Nebbiolo<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-31302 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gervasivineyard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Wine-Blog-2.jpg\" alt=\"Gervasi Vineyard Truscano Sangiovese and Lucello Pinot Grigio wine bottles with filled glasses against a red backdrop\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-20\">Be merry and bright! Gift the wine and stuff the stockings with some great <a href=\"https:\/\/gervasivineyard.com\/the-marketplace\/\">wine-related gifts<\/a> such as wine glasses which are always a great item to add on with a bottle of wine! \u00a0You can find a wide selection of wine glasses at the Marketplace along with wine wands that take out of the sulfites and histamines that cause headaches, which makes for a great add on as well!<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-21\">Katie said, \u201cWe have some great fun items that will make exciting gifts such as hats with wine sayings, some funny wine stoppers, some fun towels and wine charms!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-22\">If you prefer to let the recipient select the wines of their choice instead of trying to find the right wine, GV gift cards are available at all the outlets <a href=\"https:\/\/gervasivineyard.com\/\">on the GV property<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gervasivineyard.com\/the-twisted-olive\/\">The Twisted Olive<\/a> and on GV\u2019s website.

Your wine selections will depend on the type of food you&#8217;ll be serving and whether you and your guests prefer a red or white wine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-25\">Eric offered his suggestions on selecting the right wines for holiday meals and gatherings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-26\">\u201cHoliday meals are surrounded with relatives, friends, and meals that have been passed down thru the family. In my family, we tend to enjoy food that do not include exotic spices,\u201d Eric said. \u201cI would pair a lightly sweet wine like Tesoro, a vidal blanc that has aromas and flavors of melon and pear. Another favorite in my family is Abbraccio, our Cabernet Sauvignon that has full body and tannins, but is very well crafted and fairly fruit-forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-27\">Which wines go well with Christmas cookies, chocolate, and other sweets?<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-28\">Eric said, \u201cYou need to think about the sweetness level in the desserts. If you\u2019re enjoying an Italian dessert that is usually not extremely sweet, you can choose a wine with a medium sweetness level. <a href=\"https:\/\/vinoshipper.com\/shop\/gervasi_vineyard\/lascito_112808\">Lascito<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/vinoshipper.com\/shop\/gervasi_vineyard\/brigante_brigand_112644\">Brigante<\/a> are great choices. If the dessert is sweet, you must choose a wine that is sweeter than the dessert, otherwise the wine will taste sour and tart when enjoying the wine and dessert together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-29\">\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/vinoshipper.com\/shop\/gervasi_vineyard\/moscato_112633\">Moscato<\/a> is a wonderful choice. \u00a0For milk and white chocolates, a sweet wine (white) is best. With dark chocolate, go with a dry red. The tannins in the red wine and the tannins in the dark chocolate pair nicely together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-31300 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gervasivineyard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Bistro-holiday-blog.jpg\" alt=\"Holiday-decorated interior of The Bistro at Gervasi Vineyard with Christmas tree and festive garlands\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-30\"><strong>Tis the Season for Love, Laughter, Meaning and Magic<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-31\">And of course, it is always the right season for great wines from <a href=\"https:\/\/gervasivineyard.com\/\">Gervasi Vineyard<\/a>.
