Grocer celebrates craftsmanship and artistry
of Grower Champagnes with a delicious, hand-crafted
sparkler
Tis’ the season for festive holiday parties, cozy fireside
nights and delightfully decadent dinners. Whole Foods Market
(NASDAQ: WFM) has curated a top-notch selection of winter wines at
a range of prices that will make meals memorable and harried
hostesses happy.
This year’s Top 10 Holiday Wines showcases a wide variety of
wines from a perfect-for-turkey-and-ham silky Sonoma County pinot
noir to a French chardonnay-viognier with a round, fruity softness
that pairs well with yams and cranberry.
“We’ve assembled a group of wonderful seasonal whites and reds
that offer something for every occasion and pocket book,” said Doug
Bell, global beverage buyer for Whole Foods Market. “Whether you
are looking for an inexpensive red to gift neighbors and friends or
an organically grown Italian to pair with an intimate cocktail
party, Whole Foods Market has you covered.”
For the first year ever, the company’s wine experts are casting
the spotlight on Grower Champagnes, which means the same people who
tend the vineyards and grow the grapes also make the Champagne.
Whole Foods Market will be featuring a very special sparkler that
displays the craftsmanship of these handmade wines.
“While there’s been customer interest for some time about these
Champagnes, we feel the holidays are the perfect time to celebrate
the Grower Champagne movement, and introduce our shoppers to this
beautiful Champagne, Gaston Chiquet,” said Devon Broglie, M.S.,
associate global beverage buyer for Whole Foods Market. “The
difference between these artisan wines made by dedicated farmers
and more widely consumed sparklers is the difference between a
slice of American cheese and a farmstead blue from Point Reyes. We
can’t wait for shoppers to taste the difference.”
Featured holiday wines include:
- Pizzolato Pinot Grigio

- Louis Latour Duet

Whole Foods Market invites wine enthusiasts 21 and older to
