The Dreaming Tree Wines Cork Speaker (www.DreamingTreeWines.com) – $35

Fathers + Daughters Cellars Wine (www.FandDCellars.com) – Starting at $21

Located in California’s Anderson Valley, Fathers + Daughters Cellars produces small-batch, award-winning wines from the family’s storied Ferrington Vineyard. This family’s hands-on labor of love began in 2012 when their youngest daughter, Ella was born. Only four weeks old and awake at four in the morning, Ella rode in a backpack as the family harvested its first vintage of Ella’s Reserve Pinot Noir. Fathers + Daughters Cellars is a high-touch, small-production family venture. With 72 acres under vine, they estimate their total production this year to be approximately 600 cases of wine featuring vineyard-designates for each of Ferrington’s four varietals (Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer), one blend and its hard cider. Fathers + Daughters Cellars is a high-touch venture. You will find their fingerprints on every step of the process, from the harvest, to the press, to the bottle.

Spoken Barrel Wines (www.SpokenBarrel.com) – $19.99

Proudly made in Washington State, Spoken Barrel wines include two rustic bold reds any wine aficionado will adore: a flavorful Cabernet Sauvignon, and complex, rich Meritage Red Blend. Highlighting the exceptional quality of grapes from Washington’s famed Columbia Valley, the resulting collection is both rugged and refined—a hallmark of this winery. Spoken Barrel also debuted a sleek and handsome bottle, sans paper label, with each bottle adorned with the number 42—a nod to the brand’s roots in the heart of Washington, the 42nd state in the union.

Meiomi Sparkling Wine (www.MeiomiWines.com) – $26.99

The new Meiomi Sparkling wine just launched nationwide, just in time for those holiday entertaining occasions. It is a North Coast sparkling wine made in the traditional champagne-making method. Exuding aromas of green apple with hints of peach nectar, crunchy pear, citrus and honey combined with a fresh minerality, it’s a refreshing option that pairs well with nearly any cuisine—from gourmet to backyard barbeque. The wine itself is a light straw color with a whisper of pink, paying tribute to Meiomi’s origins as a Pinot Noir house.

These single-serve wine options are certainly a great alternative for those non-champagne drinkers. Retailing for only $2.50 each, they are great for entertaining in bulk while not breaking the bank.
