Christmas Wine Pairing at the Lounge

From the first slice of glazed ham to the last holiday cookie, Christmas dinner calls for wines that feel just as celebratory as the meal itself.Join us for an evening of holiday wine discovery as we taste six wines selected for a classic Christmas feast. This is a relaxed, festive tasting designed to help you choose bottles with confidence—whether you are planning the menu, bringing a host gift, or simply looking for a few delicious wines to enjoy throughout the season. Small bites included in tasting price.Rather than trying to find one bottle that works with everything, we’ll explore a lineup of wines that highlights the many flavors on a Christmas table: sweet-and-savory ham, rich prime rib, buttery potatoes, roasted vegetables, warm bread, and decadent holiday desserts.What We’ll Taste
Our six featured wines will be chosen to complement dishes such as:

• Honey- or brown sugar-glazed ham with its sweet, salty, caramelized crust
• Slow-roasted prime rib with au jus or horseradish cream
• Creamy garlic mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, and potatoes au gratin
• Parmesan-roasted Brussels sprouts, green bean casserole, and honey-glazed carrots
• Soft dinner rolls, cheese-stuffed rolls, and pull-apart Christmas tree bread
• Pies, traditional Christmas pudding, and an assortment of festive cookies

Along the way, we’ll talk through the flavors in each wine, why it works with particular dishes, and how to build a holiday wine lineup that keeps every guest happy—from the sparkling-wine lover to the red-wine traditionalist.Holiday Bottle Pricing
After the tasting, guests will have access to special event bottle pricing on the featured wines to take home.Pick up a few bottles for Christmas dinner, holiday gatherings, gifting, or cozy nights by the tree. It is the perfect opportunity to stock up on wines that will make your holiday meals even more memorable.Event Details
