Wined Down

After a challenging year, one thing is for certain: the holidays aren’t just a welcome diversion. They’re also a chance to reflect, enjoy clean, flavorful foods (safely!) with loved ones, and savor the best qualities of organic red wines.

No matter the meals you have planned for all the fall and winter holidays, rest assured that the red wine selections from Our Daily Wines will bring to life all the flavors and pleasures of the seasons. Our Daily Wines are USDA organic, preservative- and gluten-free, vegan, and free of detectable sulfites.

These classic varietals are approachable for all wine lovers and are built on a simple vision — to preserve and enhance the environment in which our families live and work. Our wines also serve as fantastic complements to holiday meals and celebrations! And as you pour a glass, here’s hoping the coming year will be full of hope, health and happiness.

The Lineup

• Cabernet Sauvignon (750 ml)
• Red Blend (750 ml)
• 1.5L Bag in Box — perfect for small gatherings, or for you and a loved one to share. The 1.5-liter box is the equivalent of two standard bottles of wine and stays fresh for up to six weeks. That means it’s great for weeks of sipping, even if you’re the only wine lover on hand!

Starters/Sides

Roasted Vegetable Fries with Cashew Herb Dip

Paired With: Our Daily Wines Red Blend

If you’re looking for the appeal of a deep-fried appetizer without any frying at all, these veggie fries might become your new favorite. Panko gives the fries a great crunch, while the cool, creamy, cashew-based dip adds a fresh, bright note. Our Daily Wines Red Blend pairs well with its mellow acidity to contrast with the dip’s creaminess.

Roasted Cauliflower with Brown Butter Sage Vinaigrette

Paired With: Our Daily Wines Cabernet Sauvignon

This sweet-and-savory dish can be prepared up to three days in advance and simply reheated just before serving before tossing the florets with the vinaigrette, cranberries and pine nuts. It’s a fantastic prepare-ahead side dish for hearty roasts and even grilled proteins. (Tip: the cauliflower florets can be par-roasted in advance to save time. The vinaigrette can also be prepped a day or two in advance.) Our Daily Wines Cabernet Sauvignon matches up well with its medium body and rich, aromatic appeal.

Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Sunchokes, Pecorino & Olives

Paired With: Our Daily Wines 1.5L Red Blend Bag in Box

Roasting thin slices of Brussels sprouts makes them deliciously caramelized, while Jerusalem artichokes and green olives add buttery flavor to this unique dish, which works well as a side dish or a lighter main component with other sides. The sprouts can be cut up to 4 days in advance, but the cooked dish is best right out of the oven. Our Daily Wines 1.5L Red Blend Bag in Box balances lighter, fruit-forward flavors with the richness of the pecorino and fatty olives as well as the roasted Brussels sprouts.
