Move on to the bright and beautifully balanced Krayer Riesling as you begin your meal with this classic holiday pairing complimented by flavors of softly sweet honey, zesty citrus, and rocky minerality. Finish your celebration by cozying up with the Tasmorcan Barbera d’Asti with its jammy and dark fruit-forward flavors that are enriched by notes of baking spices, thyme, and tobacco, making it the perfect accompaniment to all your favorite holiday desserts.” -Jenn
