If you want to impress your holiday guests, serve them 2019 Gratitude from Iron Horse, Sebastopol’s most sparkling gem. This slightly amber-hued sparkling is 60% pinot noir and 30% chardonnay. The fragrance of cran-apple and a burnished note of candied ginger and dried apricot make this wine the perfect accompaniment for the rich flavors of fall; make sure to save some to accompany apple pie for dessert.

The 2020 Iron Horse Classic Brut garners added depth from the dosage of 1985 sparkling, lending a hint of caramel and pecans. Anybody can make sparkling these days, but not everyone has a cellar deep enough to be able to pull something like this off.
