There’s a great holiday meal, and then there’s a great holiday meal with wine. Yup, having a bottle (let’s face it, bottles) of good wine as part of your spread can elevate the meal to even more memorable heights—because when done right, wine has the ability to bring out the best in just about any dish, and the food in turn can also bring out the best of the wine.

To demonstrate just that, we’ve partnered up with Saison Cellar for a special selection of wines that pair beautifully with our holiday menus. A part of the Saison Hospitality restaurant group (along with Michelin-starred establishments Saison and Angler in San Francisco), the company offers rare and highly prized wines from all around the globe.

About Saison Cellar

Saison Cellar is a high-end wine brokerage specializing in Old World, fine and rare wines, going by their Michelin-rated pedigree to “elevate the standards and expectations of the retail wine industry.” Founder Mark Bright began showing interest in the world of wine as he traveled to France at the tender age of 15; by the time he was 21, Bright became the one of the youngest sommeliers in the industry at Aqua Restaurant in the Bellagio, Las Vegas, and eventually entered the winemaking world himself.

Over the years, Bright has earned accolades—including being hailed among the "Best New Sommeliers' by Wine and Spirits in 2005, and being dubbed a "New Wine Turk" by Wine Spectator in 2006. And to this day, he remains an advocate of the winemaking and vineyards of Santa Cruz, what with the region’s diverse soil types and ocean-influenced climate.

At Saison Cellar, Bright and his team aim to share their love of wine and service, “to enrich the lives of our customers”. With that comes a curated selection of wine for every occasion, with bottles sourced from regions that include Napa Valley, Burgundy, and others. Apart from being a one-stop shop for excellent wines, Saison Cellar can assist with your personal and corporate wine gifting needs, as well as do cellar consultation and management, private sommelier tastings, and guided wine tasting trips worldwide.
