- Sweet, sticky dessert wines can make a great accompaniment to holiday dessert selections. After tasting several Paso Robles dessert wines, these are our top recommendations. Enjoy these wines by a crackling fire, or cellar them. They will continue to develop in the bottle for the next 10-15 years. Serve them after your holiday meal with a dessert or as dessert by itself. These sweet wines also pair wonderfully with cheeses. They also make perfect holiday gifts from Paso Robles.

- Pinot noir is always a popular choice for holiday parties and dinners because it is easy to pair with so many holiday dishes. Pinot noir's traditional characters of medium-bodied fruit, lower alcohol, velvety mouthfeel, and bright acidity make it an excellent lighter red wine for an appetizer plate of charcuterie and cheeses or holiday meals. After tasting many local pinot noir wines, we made recommendations for you below. We suggest serving these wines slightly chilled at about 55°F.

- With the holiday season upon us, we invited our local wineries to help us with their best wines. We were impressed with their submissions. When you celebrate this season and plan your holiday parties, Christmas dinner, and New Year's Eve celebration, consider pouring some tasty local wines. White wines are wonderful options for holiday evenings, meals, and even gifts. Luckily there is no shortage of fantastic white wines in Paso Robles.

- Rosé wine has come a long way since it was synonymous with white zinfandel. I remember rosé as a holiday tradition at family get-togethers when I was young. Today's Paso Robles' rosés are sophisticated and refreshing. They come in a wide spectrum of pink hues, from light to dark, and are pressed from a growing number of varieties of wine grapes. These rosé wines present a fresh taste of Paso Robles wines at reasonable prices.
