2. Wolfer Goldgrube Riesling Kabinett
From the scenic Mosel region in Germany, Wolfer Goldgrube Riesling Kabinett is a stellar choice for holiday gatherings.

4. Piedrasassi Syrah
Piedrasassi Syrah, a USA-made wine with a unique touch, is crafted with minimal intervention and a whole-cluster approach.
