The Ultimate Italian
Gifting a super Tuscan red wine to any oenophile will surely be met with much appreciation, and Marchesi Antinori Tignanello 2021 tops the wine wish lists of many. Produced by Tuscany’s Marchesi Antinori, this blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc results in a full-bodied, velvety red, with purple hues that hint at notes of ripe plum, blackcurrant and dark chocolate. Bragging rights for the gift giver? This 2021 is considered one of the best vintages ever. It’s perfect for cellaring to drink later or enjoying now with a Sunday roast or pasta ragu.

Chameleon Cuvée
Séverine Frerson, Maison Perrier-Jouët’s cellar master, describes Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut Champagne as a chameleon cuvée: “It has the substance and personality to adapt to any situation, from an aperitif to a main course.” This sophisticated Brut Champagne, classically made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, offers delicate floral notes, crisp pear and apple, and hints of biscuit. It is a thoughtfully selected bubble to ring in the New Year, and considering this Champagne dates back to 1846, that’s a lot of New Year’s Eve toasting by many. If only to have been a fly on the wall at those long-ago parties.
