This month officially marks Cellar 503’s sixth anniversary. I am so thrilled with the warm welcome we continue to receive from the Oregon wine industry and the support that all our members continue to show us. My dream of sharing unique, hand-crafted wines from small wineries all over the state has really become a reality.

There’s no question that the holiday season is upon us and that it is vastly different this year. Whether you’re celebrating Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, Festivus, or a bit of all four, you’re probably thinking about holidays of the past and missing friends and family.

Whatever your holidays look like this year, we’ve chosen some spectacular wines that we hope will bring a little joy to your home during the season of lights.

Both of our red wines come from Southern Oregon this month! Our first red is an elegant and lovely Syrah from La Luna Contenta in Medford. And as a compliment, our second red is a big, bold Zinfandel from Rosella’s Vineyard in Grant’s pass.

What would the holidays be without a little bubbly? So our first white is a Blanc de Noir from Six Peaks Winery. And our second white is a Pinot Blanc from Paetra Wine Company.
