Colleleva Italy | Le Marche
December Adventures Club ~ A crisp, linear white with subtle aromas of flowers and herbs, this is an all-purpose bargain sipper made for aperitivo, salads, and seafood.
Guido Porro Italy | Piedmont
Prime placement in a great vineyard site provides exquisite balance, gentle tannin, and notes of brambly fruit.

December Club Rouge ~ Proof that a great site and honest farming are key to genuine, long-lived wines.
Paul Bara France | Champagne
December Club Bianco ~ With classic notes of sweet spice and quince, it’s great with dessert. An apple-walnut pie? Apricot and frangipane tart?
