Four December Dishes Perfectly Paired with LaBelle Wines

December brings cozy gatherings, festive beverages, and plenty of delicious dishes to enjoy with family and friends. It’s also the perfect time to elevate your holiday table with thoughtful LaBelle wine pairings that make each bite feel even more festive.

At LaBelle Winery, we’ve curated four festive food and LaBelle wine pairings featuring some of our favorite seasonal flavors. If you’re baking, hosting, or simply hunkering down at home, these four curated pairings bring warmth and joy to every December gathering:

PAIRING #1: Sugar Cookies & LaBelle Spiced Winter Pear Wine

There’s nothing more nostalgic than a soft, buttery sugar cookie fresh out of the oven during the holidays! Pair this classic holiday treat with LaBelle Winery’s Spiced Winter Pear wine. Our Spiced Winter Pear wine provides an aromatic blend of pear, cinnamon, and warm winter spices. The flavors of the wine enhances the sweetness of the cookie – without overpowering it. Together, they create a harmonious, festive pairing perfect for cookie-decorating parties, holiday movie nights, or fireside snacking.

PAIRING #2: Peppermint Bark & LaBelle Red Alchemy Wine

Peppermint bark is one of the best sweet treats to enjoy during the holiday season, and it deserves a wine that can stand up to its sweet and minty flavors. LaBelle Red Alchemy wine the perfect match. This smooth and vibrant red blend offers notes of dark fruit and subtle spice, creating a balanced counterpoint to peppermint’s flavors. This pairing feels indulgent, wintery, and unexpectedly sophisticated!

PAIRING #3: Baked Brie cheese & LaBelle Red Raspberry Wine

Creamy, warm baked Brie topped with The Winemaker’s Kitchen honey or jams is a must-have appetizer in December! When paired with LaBelle Red Raspberry wine, the flavors come alive. The wine’s bright, raspberry notes cut beautifully through the richness and creamy texture of the Brie cheese, while its natural sweetness highlights any fruity toppings. This combination is a crowd-pleasing starter for any holiday gathering.

PAIRING #4: Prime Rib & LaBelle Tannat Wine

For show-stopping holiday dinners, prime rib is the undisputed star – and it deserves a powerful, elegant wine to serve alongside it. LaBelle Tannat wine is the perfect match! Known for its bold tannins and deep structure, LaBelle Winery Tannat complements the savory richness of all prime rib dinners. This bold red wine enhances the meat’s flavors, creating a luxurious pairing worthy of center stage at your Christmas or New Year’s table.
