Spending relaxing time with friends is one of my fav activities. I always bring some bottles of wine to enjoy during the day.

7 Wines Under $25 to Spread Holiday Cheer

South Africa has 11 official languages. That’s a lot of different ways for one country to say, “I love you.” And South African wine carries a similar kaleidescope of expression. 
Chenin Blanc may be their most grown cultivar; Sauvignon Blanc may be their biggest export, and Pinotage is certainly their most famous slice of homegrown, but there are hugely exciting zones where unusual cultivars are coming to prominence, and new winemaking stars are rising. This showcase includes some of their most exciting emerging winemakers and explores niche cultivars that are turning heads.

Before orange wines (aka skin-macerated white wines) were a thing, a dedicated group of winemakers, mostly from Italy's Friuli region and neighboring Slovenia were reviving a style of winemaking that has its origins in the Republic of Georgia. Here then are the iconic wines from those producers, as well as some of their Georgian inspirations—the wines that launched the craze and made the world safe for skin-contact whites.

Rombauer Vineyards produced their first Chardonnay with the 1982 vintage, but it wasnt until 1990 that the Rombauer family made their first Chardonnay from the Carneros region. A house style that blends fruit, barrel, and acidity to create a crowd-pleasing California Chardonnay.

A very distinctive and immediately enjoyable Pinot Noir, this is very juicy, with notes and flavors of raspberry & cherry with hints of strawberry, spices, and vanilla.  Le Grand Noir is what happens when an award-winning wine author and critic, a globetrotting winemaker, and an internationally acclaimed label-designer get together over a few good bottles of wine. They wondered how they might create a wine that brings together the classic and complex, food-friendly, flavors of France with the accessibility of the New World.

The 2016 sparkling wine vintage in the Willamette Valley was generous yet refined, highlighting the alluring precision the region has to offer. Knudsen Vineyard, in the protected Dundee Hills, brings supple depth and elegance, while Spirit Hill Vineyard, in the windy confines of the Eola-Amity Hills, brings tension and mineral backbone. Fresh seashore, white peach, and toasted brioche are framed around a creamy center and long, graceful finish.

The Tablas Creek Vineyard Patelin de Tablas is a blend of four red Rhone varietals: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre and Counoise. The wine incorporates fruit from several of the top Rhone vineyards in Paso Robles, each vineyard selected for its quality. Like many red wines from the Rhone Valley, it is based on the dark fruit, mineral and spice of Syrah, with the brightness and fresh acidity of Grenache, the structure and meatiness of Mourvedre and a small addition of Counoise for complexity

The Brut Reserve is a blend in equal parts of the three champenois grape varieties: pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay from 30 different crus. 25% reserve wines are used to produce this cuvee:  - The Pinot Noir (bringing structure, body and power) is mainly produced from some of the best crus of the Montagne de Reims.  - The Pinot Meunier (ensuring freshness, roundness and fruitiness) is issued from several crus from the Vallee de la Marne and from the Epernay area.   - The Chardonnay (adding its aromatic complexity, finesse, elegance and lightness) comes from Epernay and some of the best crus of the Cote des Blancs.  After four years ageing in cellar, its style combines complexity, balance and distinction.  With a powerful and attractive nose, it first delivers aromas of fruit (pear, mango ...) and then releases light flavours of honeysuckle and white jasmine, lingering on vanilla and brioche notes. Behind a frank and dynamic attack, the wine encompasses a nice harmony and a pleasant freshness, whilst preserving some structure. On the palate, flavours of cooked fruit (quince jelly, apricot jam) happily mingle with fragrances of beeswax and acacia honey. The long-lasting aromas, composed of both fruity (candied orange peel, tangerine...) and spicy notes (cardamom, anis) is outstanding.
