5 NEW YEAR’S EVE DRINKS Whether you’re celebrating virtually or ringing in the new year with an intimate group, one thing is for sure – you need to cheers with something in your glass! As you’re making your NYE shopping list, here are some celebratory libations to consider picking up at Mother’s.
1. Joel Gott Cabernet Sauvignon When choosing a wine to pair with a charcuterie board, this is the one to try. Sourced from vineyards in Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, Monterey, Paso Robles, and Lodi, this well- balanced cabernet sauvignon has strong aromas of red fruit, black cherry, and raspberry with hints of white pepper and vanilla. 2. Rombauer Vineyards Chardonnay If chardonnay is your drink of choice, try this one for New Year’s. Crafted in the Carneros region of California, where the southern end of Sonoma and Napa valleys meet San Pablo Bay, Rombauer Vineyard’s Chardonnay is sure to be a hit. This blend features aromas of peach, honeydew, and lemon rind with hints of vanilla and spice. 3. Martinelli’s Sparkling Cider For a non-alcoholic drink that’s perfect for NYE, you can’t go wrong with Martinelli’s. Featuring 100% carbonated apple juice from U.S. grown apples with just the right amount of bubbles, this festive drink will be great for adults and kids alike.

4. Saint Hilaire Brut Champagne No New Year’s Eve is complete without champagne. Made in Limoux, France, this light-bodied champagne is fresh, crisp, and dry. With an apple and citrus flavor, this bubbly drink will be a hit.
5. Bonterra Sauvignon Blanc When looking for a wine to pair with seafood dishes, this one is an excellent choice. Blended from organically-farmed fruit in Sonoma, Mendocino, and San Luis Obispo counties, this wine has a strong aroma of white peach and kumquat that gives way to citrus and bright melon, and finally a ouch of sweet grass.
