Nothing brings me more joy than spending
time over the holidays with loved ones. I love the baking, I love the
cocktails, I love the scents, I love the music, I love being able to dress up,
I even love the craziness of it all. Each year the weekend following
Thanksgiving I put on some holiday tunes, light a spruce fragranced candle, and
get jolly decorating my apartment. It's not a huge production and usually only
consists of me and my husband but this year I decided to make an evening of it
and elevate the experience by putting together a little outdoor leftover dinner
table on our terrace and opening up a couple bottles of Gloria Ferrer sparkling wines.
Considering how much love went into making these dishes to begin with, why not
celebrate them twice?
Obviously, a beautiful table
setting is only made more magical with a little bubbly. For as hard as we work
and how much stress is felt during the work week, I feel that a long weekend is
something to be celebrated in itself so we heated up our favorite dishes
from the day before and had a cheers to the start of the season with Gloria Ferrer, California’s most
awarded sparkling wine house. The Sanoma Brut was great with our turkey and the
Blanc de Noirs, which was my favorite, went great with our leftover homemade
apple pie. I had a friend come by to help us finish the bottle and enjoy a
little relaxation by the tree (and maybe indulge in a Hallmark Christmas
movie).
Gloria Ferrer has received over
500 gold medals and 50 90+ ratings in the last 5 years and I can definitely see
why. They taste delicious and are reasonably priced for such great quality. I
will be stocking up on that Black de Noirs and bringing them as gifts
throughout the season. Who wouldn’t love to unwind with a gorgeous glass of
bubbles by the twinkling lights of the holiday?
