Apéritif Natal
Ficklin Vineyards
$30.00
www.ficklin.com
Wine is always great to give and get, yet Ficklin Vineyards offers a handful of holiday bottles that are especially fun. Only available after Thanksgiving, the Apéritif Natal boasts subtle tawny notes that support the warmth of light cinnamon honey initially. Savor the flavors of shortbread and pecans leading to the finish, which contains orange zest and gingerbread. It’s equally delightful sipped independently as it is paired with a festive dessert charcuterie board or spiced cake.
