Celebrate the New Year with Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label Champagne

Welcome the new year with a truly memorable sparkling wine—Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label Champagne.

This sparkling wine will bring back the smiles and tell those you celebrate with that you look forward to making new memories with them.

The Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label, much like the dawn of a new year, is full of promise. Bright and lightly toasty, this elegant Champagne layers flavors of cassis, crushed hazelnut, and lemon meringue pie on its creamy bead. Its predominance of Pinot Noir provides the structure that is so typically Clicquot, while a touch of Pinot Meunier rounds out the blend. Its Chardonnay component adds the class to the glass and finesse essential in a perfectly balanced wine.

However you choose to put a capper on this year and embrace the next, treat yourself to Veuve Clicquot.

Veuve Clicquot Brut, as well as a host of other sparkling wines of substance, can be found at large local liquor stores like Wyatt’s Wet Goods, which specializes in offering you superior selection for all celebrations and budgets.

Smirnoff Peppermint puts a pleasant twist on the Christmas season

Wrapped in its best stripes for the yule season, Smirnoff Peppermint Twist delivers you the mouth-watering taste of sweet holiday candy, balanced by the soothing cool of peppermint.
Peppermint Twist has returned to shelves in Colorado this holiday season, but only for a brief time. This limited edition for Christmas is made with natural peppermint flavors and designed for a smoother drinking experience.

Smirnoff’s deliciously cool treat has a sweet candied aroma and a real taste of candy canes, balanced by the soothing cool of peppermint.

Think how much fun it would be at a holiday party to bring out a tray of chilled Peppermint shooters, with mini candy canes on the side for garnishes.

This flavored vodka, with its “Scratch and Sniff” packaging, is available in 750 ml bottles with an ABV of 30%. It is ideal for bumping up drinks like hot chocolate and eggnog or creative mixing in your favorite holiday cocktails. It’s also available in a 50 ml size shooter that makes an excellent stocking stuffer.

Look for the festive striped Smirnoff Peppermint Twist bottle, as well as other yuletide seasonal products at larger local liquor emporiums, like Wyatt’s, that offer you an outstanding selection of holiday products. When it comes to selection, more is always merrier.

Ring in the Holiday Season with Beaujolais Nouveau!

Beaujolais Nouveau Day is marked in France on the third Thursday in November (Nov. 21) with fireworks, music, and festivals. Under French law, the wine is released at 12:01 a.m., just weeks after the wine’s grapes have been harvested. Parties are held throughout the country and further afield to celebrate this first wine of the season.

Beaujolais Nouveau is meant to be drunk young. Most vintages should be consumed by the following May after its release. However, in excellent vintages (such as the 2000) the wine can live much longer and can be enjoyed until the next harvest rolls around.

The region of Beaujolais is known for its fabulous food. The famed Paul Bocuse restaurant is just minutes from the heart of Beaujolais, as is Georges Blanc’s. These great restaurants have plenty of Beaujolais Nouveau on their wine lists. The wine goes well with either high cuisine or Friday night’s pizza.

An annual favorite, these French first harvest varietals are perfect for holiday parties or Thanksgiving feasts:

Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau: Vibrant red fruits flavors of strawberries and currants show on the palate with an intense perfume that make this wine a perfect accompaniment for cheese, charcuterie, and traditional holiday fare. Serve slightly chilled.

La Perliere Beaujolais Villages: On the nose, one gets notes of raspberry and cherry. On the palate, flavors of smoke, mineral, and strawberry are present with soft tannins. This is a medium-bodied wine with a short, peppery finish.

Grab a bottle and see what all the hubbub is about for yourself. Locally, you can find these limited edition, celebrated wines at larger, independently owned wine shops, like Wyatt’s Wet Goods, that offer you a superior selection from around the globe and an experienced staff that will help you find the perfect bottle for every occasion.
