Tis the season with the reason
to be jolly and grateful!
With Christmas and our favorite winter festivities only weeks away, many of us have dusted off our ‘Jingle Bells Rock’ vinyls, are hanging our stockings above the fireplace, and slowly but surely checking off everything our loved ones have put on their gift lists. Plus, treating ourselves to a few bottles of our favorite vintage.
If you’re planning on hosting this season, now is the best time to get prepared for all the winter-time fun you’ve got planned for December.
Everything happens for a riesling, right? This is why we’ve compiled an easy-to-follow guide, to help you celebrate in style without all the hassle:
1. Decadent Decorations
No matter if you go with a traditional green and red color scheme or opt for something more contemporary like silver and purple, if you are hosting a party during the holidays, you will want to ensure your decorations are perfect.
Your decorations are important because they will help set the tone for the gathering. Of course, visual decorations go a long way, but don’t forget about the other four senses. Decorate with scented candles with festive fragrances like Siberian Fir or Frosted Gingerbread that evoke the spirit of the holiday. Tantalize their tastebuds with tasty cookies decorated with finger-licking frosting, while their ears enjoy the nostalgic sounds of your curated holiday playlist.
2. Glorious Glassware
Beyond aesthetics and helping to enhance the visual experience of your holiday party, proper glassware is necessary for serving different types of drinks correctly, while appropriate silverware ensures guests can easily enjoy their food.
Well before the day of your get-together, check that you have the right glasses for each type of wine that will be served, glasses for water and soda, and perhaps even a few paper or plastic options for any young children who may be attending to avoid breaking any expensive glasses.
Pro Tip: Bordeaux, cabernet, and merlot glasses tend to be the tallest, with a design allowing more oxygen to contact the wine. White wine glasses, on the other hand, are smaller than their red counterparts; this allows the wine to be in closer contact with your nose, as their aromas are lighter.
3. Winter Wonderland Wine Cellars
