Petitjean-Pienne Grand Cru makes one of the most elegant Champagnes that Faith’s has had in years. It’s a splurge at $70, but makes the ultimate holiday gift for that Champagne-lover on your list. Or get a bottle for New Year’s Eve and start the year off in style.
Faith's Favorites
Santa Carolina Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva de Familia is a Super Food-Friendly Red
The Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva de Familia from Santa Carolina Vineyards is juicy yet round with just enough backbone to make it exceptionally food-friendly, from appetizers to entrees and even chocolate desserts. Nice host gift, too.
Less Sugar, More Flavor is Bill Yosses’ Sweet Spot
In his new baking cookbook, The Sweet Spot, Bill Yosses has found a way (many ways, actually) to make dazzling desserts that are sweet-enough, but don’t include cup after cup of granulated sugar.
La Font de Notre Dame Gigondas is a Big, Bold Red for the Holidays
There’s a beefiness to this big, bold, red wine—there’s a velvetiness too, making it elegant. La Font de Notre Dame’s Gigondas has structure, lots of body, and a sturdiness that makes it substantial. It’s perfect alongside roasted leg of lamb, short ribs, and beef stew. It’s a special wine you’ll want to celebrate with or give as a gift.

Domaine J. Laurens is a French Sparkler Every Bit as Good as Prosecco
If you like the toasty, almondy flavor of champagne, Domaine J. Laurens’ sparkling wine is made in the same style as champagne, but it’s a bargain at $17.
