On holiday party beverage duty? Need something to make family time go down easier? These Christmas-approved cocktails deliver plenty of cheer.
 
 
 
 
 
Exprimere 2022 Mia Peake Ranch Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills) $96
 
 
95
points
 
Cellar Selection
 
 
A lighter hue in the glass, this bottling begins with a very dynamic nose that weaves through aromas of raspberry, pomegranate, light pepper and dark herb.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Chandon NV Chandon Brut Rosé Sparkling (California), $27
 
 
94
points
 
 
This wine is rich, supple, with aromas of strawberry, raspberry, tangerine cream, cinnamon, and notes of Orange blossom on the nose.
 
 
 
 
 
 
St. Supéry 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley), $60
 
 
93
points
 
 
Juicy and full-bodied, this flavorful Cabernet delivers upright structure and lots of length. Tobacco, cracked pine and graphite swirl on a dark fruit background.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
High West Campfire (USA; High West Distillery, Park City, UT), $70
 
 
93
points
 
 
"Campfire" is the right name for this blend of straight rye whiskey, straight bourbon and blended malt Scotch. Definitely suggests a glowing fire and a whiff of s'mores.
