Summary

Whether you’re looking for a big, bold red or a crisp white, the Good Earth Specialty department has a wine recommendation for your holiday gathering! Our team has pored over countless options and selected their favorites for the 2024 Holiday Season, all made from Certified Organic or Biodynamic grapes.

Chateau Lavernette Cremant de Bourgogne

Made with 100% Chardonnay, this crisp sparkling wine is fresh and lively with tiny bubbles and hints of citrus and white flowers. Pour a glass for your guests to start the party, or pair with seafood and lighter fare.

Frogs Leap “Shale and Stone” Chardonnay

A Good Earth favorite, this wine is aged for a handful of days in French Oak before being transferred into concrete tanks at the peak of its fermentation. Full in body, but mineral driven and fresh on the palate, this Chardonnay pairs perfectly with aged cheese and roasted poultry.

Domaine de la Monette “Le Saut Muchiau” Bourgogne Rouge

Hailing from the Côte Chalonnaise subregion of Burgundy, this wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir from Mercurey and features a distinct mineral richness, a purple hue, and bold notes of ripe cherries and herbs. It makes an excellent accompaniment to alpine cheese, lamb, poultry, and rich sauces.

Ridge “Geyserville” Zinfandel

This rich Zin is deep ruby in the glass with aromas of dark plum, and herbs. It features cherry, raspberry, and American oak on the palate, with balanced tannins and a long finish. If you’re looking for a wine that can hold its own with strong cheeses, roasted meats, and root vegetables, this is it.

Robert Sinskey POV

One of our favorites, this classic Bordeaux blend is full of plum, black and red berries. Perfectly packaged with oak, vanilla, tobacco and earthy notes. Pair with heartier dishes, like roasted meats.

Donatella Cinelli Rosso di Montalcino

Crafted by the women-led winery Donatello Cinelli, this show-stopping wine features a bright ruby color and hints of red berries, spice, and vanilla. Let this one open up! Perfect with all things Italian.
