Cheerful, noisy and glamorous - the holidays are here. As fabulous for the gifts, as warming for the toasts. And although the dishes are the heroes of the festive table, you should know - they are as important as the drinks. Wine is the one without which neither oysters nor goose liver, smoked salmon, game or truffles will show their true side.
And since Santa doesn't have the reputation of being a great sommelier, here are some tips on how to combine dishes and the wines of the festive tableso that the mood is at a maximum level.
We have chosen for you wines from the portfolio of the famous winery Domaine Boyar, because we are impressed by the fact that for the third time in a row at the end of November they won the SUPERBRAND prize of Bulgarian wine.
Start with white or sparkling wine
Bubble wine or white wine with an elegant taste know how to set a festive atmosphere, provoking the senses with anticipation.
Contrary to the tradition that champagne opens at exactly 12, start with smoked salmon or smoked trout, Saint Jacques mussels or carpaccio, seafood or mushrooms and open white champagne or sparkling wine. Just at 12 o'clock you will open another bottle ☺ It is a good idea to bet on the exclusive, made by the classic method of Champagne sparkling wine BOUTIQUE COLLECTION Chardonnay Brut or fresh and fragrant RUE ROMANCE Chardonnay.
Two wonderful sparkling wines that will bring brilliance to your festive evenings.
Of course, if you are a traditionalist and the classic champagne at midnight is the last thing you would give up, then bet on white wine without bubbles. Try QUANTUM Sauvignon Blanc from Domain Boyar's most award-winning wine series, which has a pale yellow color and ethereal clarity. Its elegant taste will quickly make the atmosphere festive and will refresh you at every finale.
If you want to end the year with a touch of originality, choose a rose at the beginning of the holiday. For example, KORTEN NATURA Rose Melnik will be an ideal partner for Mediterranean or vegetarian cuisine. You will not go wrong if you combine it with pasta and all kinds of foods based on white meat or seafood.
Save the best wine for the main
White wine is wonderful, but the holiday would not be a holiday without red. Exactly that - charged with a deep aroma and filling the veins with a mood that makes the blood boil. So don't miss the right moment to open the best bottle Red wine. The one you kept in the cellar or just in the closet, waiting for the right occasion. And no, it's not the only cheese that can be perfectly valued in his company.
The red wine on the festive table it would be a great choice if you bet on a duck menu - with chestnuts, duck magre or stuffed rooster for example. In such cases, you would hit the top six if you have the wines of the boutique winery "Korten" in your cellar, which are already very famous among connoisseurs and specialists because of their enviable collection of medals. KORTEN Syrah, Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon are rich, rich and full of taste and aroma. These are the wines that will elevate the dinner, the holiday and the mood of your guests and yourself.
For nice red meats or for an exquisite gift, you could also choose the top wines SOLITAIRE Merlot or PLATINUM Cabernet Sauvignon, which are exceptional and have the potential to mature nobly over time.
If you bet on the Chilean breath in the taste of your dinner or game, why not try imported red wine. CHILENSIS Cabernet Sauvignon, for example, is a good option and is suitable for a large number of dishes with beef, lamb or beef. Its ruby-red color and its taste of dark cherry and blackcurrant will create sophistication and will provoke many smiles around the festive table.
Desserts - anything is possible
The festive dessert can be any, which means that the wine with it can vary between different types in the sea of variety on the market.
For a dessert with red fruits or with more exotic flavors such as obvious, it would be nice to go back to sparkling white wine, a thicker rose or Traminer such as the one from the QUANTUM series.
If the dessert is a fondant or other delicacy with dark chocolate, then save on red wine. It is good to have a soft and well-structured wine like BOUTIQUE COLLECTION Malbec & Merlot.
In case the holiday dessert includes almonds or hazelnuts, you can be sure that the champagne will make it even more festive. If you plan to get rid of it, choose a semi-dry wine that will combine well with the taste of jam.
And finally - do not leave the oldest wines for the holiday without having a backup option. There is no guarantee that they will be in all their glory to accompany your table.
And in order not to saturate it with a lot of wine, be careful about the quantities you serve. Also watch the temperature of the wines. Very often they are served too hot, which makes them not so wonderful.
And now cheers! And Happy Holidays!
