Wines for Sharing and Celebrating Throughout the Holidays

November 13, 2025

November and December are exceptional months for enjoying fine wines, especially from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve. I tasted 160 wines for this column, and below are my top choices across a broad range of grapes, styles and prices. Each selection will add to the enjoyment of 2025 and beyond.

Montes 2020 Malbec “Alpha, Valle de Colchagua, Chile” ($25) offers pleasure that begins with its dark-purple hue and continues with a strong, layered nose, followed by notable body, fruit, character, and finish.
