Wine Advent Calendar 2020

There are Advent Calendars that reveal chocolates, toys, treats and more, but our favorite Advent Calendars are the ones that give the gift of wine. In 2018 we followed Delectable community member, Chris England as he paired new wines with festive photos and "Santa says" commentary. Last year we followed Delectable member, Sharon B as she paired her wines with cheese and sweets. This year we are pulling together notes from various Delectable users who are enjoying Wine Advent Calendars. We wish you continued Holiday Cheer (and cheers)!

Burlwood Cellars

California Brut Rosé Blend

My first time doing a zoom wine tasting. 2 hours later....so me and 3 friends bought the Aldi wine advent calendar. 2 of us had the Brut Rosé and 2 had the Merlot (evidently the calendars aren’t all the same, go figure)! I’m not a big sparkling wine person so this was not an exciting wine for me. The cheese and chocolate were terrific though. However, I learned a lot about camping, dogs, local restaurants, Bourbon and Christmas decorations! Oh what fun it was tonight!! — 6 years ago

Corbières Red Blend 2019

9.0

Drank 12\15\20

A selection from the Costco Wine Advent Calendar.

From 325 mL.

Nose of black cherry, plums, and flowers. Think Rhone, without the garrigue. Similar flavors. Firm, but well integrated tannins, with a long, dry, dusty finish. Probably my favorite selection from the box thus far. 89-90 pts, we'll go 90 due to the excellent pairing with lamb kebabs.

3\22\7\4\4 +50 =90 pts

Trevenezie Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Drank 12/18/20

A selection from the Costco Wine Advent Calendar.

From 325 mL.

Aromas of blackberry, smoke, and spice. Black berry and black cherry on the palate. Still French in feel, but perhaps a bit more fruit driven than most. Black fruits and tar with firm tannins on the finish.

3/21/7/3/4 +50 =88 pts.

Nice with brisket
