The Christmas Day Mixed Dozen

The Christmas Day Mixed Dozen

After the "retail vintage" that is November and December, we gear up and get our drinking boots on for the 25th December and often much thought is put in to plan out the day. So this year we thought that we would share our ideas on the perfect Christmas Day drinks... starting with breakfast and finishing up, all the way through to a nightcap.

The "Christmas Day Dozen"

Breakfast

Just because it's early doesn't mean you can't have a drink... it is Christmas Day remember. We have selected two 'sweeter' numbers that are also a little lower in alcohol just to give you that kick-start to the day.

2011 SYP Monsters, Monsters, Attack! Riesling  
2010 Vietti Moscato d'Asti Cascinetta 750ml          

Morning Tea

Just a little tipple to get the day going...

Adria Vetriano Prosecco Brut NV                      

Lunch

Whether you have turkey, seafood or baked ham, these three wines will cover the dishes...

2006 Brackenwood Sparkling Shiraz
2010 Vissoux Les Griottes Beaujolais                 
2009 Kanta Riesling

Dinner

So by now you have probably had a little nap and should be charged up & ready to roll again, so what better way to jump start dinner proceedings than with a bottle of Champagne! Follow with what Australia does so well, with some classy Chardonnay and Shiraz, a bottle of Burgundy and finish up with some cheese and Nebbiolo. Bliss.

Jacquesson Cuvee No. 734                             
2009 Mountadam High Eden Chardonnay 
2009 Domaine Matrot Bourgogne Rouge                                  
2006 Seppelts St Peters Shiraz                                           
2009 Mario Marengo Nebbiolo d'Alba Valmaggiore       

Nightcap

Whether you are still nibbling away at some cheese, having a late night dessert or just need that one last drink, this Pedro Ximinez is the perfect way to finish the day...

Valdespino Yellow Label PX
