December is the month out of all the months that seems to pounce on us out of nowhere, causing us to declare, "Oh, dang, you're here already," sort of like dinner guests arriving at 6:00 when you were positive that it was only 4:30. But December is a kindly month, full of flavors that deserve great wine. Our December Wines of the Month will not only pair with any holiday food you may serve, but they will impress your family and friends.
