Ahh the holidays are upon us again and it's time to gear up for the festivities with our friends & family. Time to get out the decorations, plan for the food and wine, and polish up those holiday traditions that make our time together even more special.

To help you out William James Rosser, the wine guy from Reserve Wines which is located in Irving (Las Colinas), Texas, has put together a wine list that's sure to compliment your holiday festivities.



















1. 2008 Saintsbury Garnet Pinot Noir, Carneros:  $29.25

Ram Gottumukkala is the proprieter of Reserve Wines and he offers FREE wine tastings every week. This week his wine tastings included NV Bruno & George Collection Signature Peach Wine ($13.95) and Raspeberry Wine ($15.95) both of which are from Sour Lake, Texas. These wines are produced by Shawn & Misha Bruno and they preserved the legacy of Shawn's Grandfather's Salvatore Bruno's original family recipe which was established in the rolling hills of Salaparuta, Sicily, circa 1889. Both these wines were a pleasant and exceptional surprise and a must for my holiday table. It's going to be a great compliment to my Thanksgiving Dinner table and sure to please my friends and family. If you don't believe me then ask Angela Flournoy who is originally from Shreveport, Louisiana and now lives in Las Colinas. Flournoy was browsing the store for just the right wine and was pleasantly surprised by these wines too and went home with a bottle of the Bruno & George Raspberry Wine.
