Your Good Neighbour & Chardonnay

for your Good Neighbour

For all those times they’ve been there for that proverbial cup of sugar, say happy holidays to your good neighbour with a token of appreciation. If that neighbour is a wine drinker, they’ll no doubt appreciate a bottle of Rodney Strong Chardonnay. Creamy, toasty and bright, this wooded Californian white wine just sings with allusions of citrus, vanilla, almond and a touch of meringue somewhere. And you can scribble on the notecard that it’s perfect with roast turkey or ham, in case they’d like to pour it with a holiday feast. Wooded Chardonnay is a seasonally appropriate wine style that drinks like a cozy sweater in liquid form.

TAITTINGER BRUT RÉSERVE CHAMPAGNE France $76.99 457713

Your Spouse & Champagne And then there’s your other half. The one you count on day in, day out for all the little things. The one you love because they take care of you in the ways that matter most. And of course, the one who makes moments sparkle brighter when you’re together. So, present your partner with something that tells them, without telling them, how special they are. Give them a bottle of Champagne. A fabulous choice is the Taittinger Brut Réserve Champagne from France. This classic blend of 40 percent Chardonnay for elegance, 35 percent Pinot Noir for power and 25 percent Pinot Meunier for finesse starts with a delicate fragrance of croissant and baked apple then streams in like liquid light. The attack is fresh and clean, shot through with delicate bubbles and cascading with orchard fruit flavours laced with pastry, almond, vanilla and a fluttery honeysuckle. It’s sublime.
