It’s easy to say we haven’t had a Ho Ho Ho Case of this magnitude before.
You know how I’m so sure? It’s simple math. This year, it includes a 97-point Cabernet from one of Napa Valley’s most iconic producers, Far Niente. Insanity. Never before has that been included – that bottle alone retails for $160. It’s a case of 12 bottles! That means the other 11 bottles you’re getting would go for under $10/bottle!
The thing is, the other wines are old favorites with, of course, some holiday cheer sprinkled in. CHAD Pinot Noir? Yeah, we’ll throw in three of those. They’re currently being sold for $23/bottle on the site…you see where I’m going with this?!?
Add three bottles of the dark-fruited, 91-point beauty of a Spanish Cabernet from the legendary Torres Family and you’re…still barely over halfway done! You’re also getting the new vintage of one of the Yantra Super Tuscan. That baby became a Nicholas Wines favorite in no time, and for good reason. I have the brand new vintage from the uber-promising 2022 vintage that I’m including along with three delicious bottles of Unshackled Sparkling from The Prisoner.
The Prisoner recently started making these semi sweet sparkling wines for $25/bottle, and they happen to be total crowd pleasers that have great lift and brioche aromas to complement plenty of clean, fruity notes. It’s fruit-forward with lots of bubbles – a lot of fun to drink.
Total it all up and you have $478 worth of wines in one single case.
The Ho Ho Ho 2023 Case includes the following five wines:
(1 btl.) Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2021 (97 pts, JS – 96pts, JD)
(2 btls.) Tenuta Sette Cieli ‘Yantra’ Super Tuscan 2022 (Not Yet Rated)
(3 btls.) Chad Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2022 (All-Time Top Selling Pinot)
(3 btls.) The Prisoner ‘Unshackled’ Sparkling NV (The 1st Year of ‘Prisoner’ Sparkling)
(3 btls.) Gran Coronas Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 (91 pts, WE)

WS #4 2019 Wine of the Year, 96 Points, Wine Spectator
2016 was an incredibly special year in Napa Valley. It was essentially the 5th straight vintage of near perfect-conditions and a lot of the big boys produced some of their biggest, most elegant Cabernets to date. Groth’s was still one of the standouts in any group, a deeply concentrated, weighty Cab with sappy, juicy fruit and a carefully intertwined tannic structure. Absolutely gorgeous.
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
As soon as you take the first sip on this one, you can easily see the Burgundian connection. Doglia’s Ruche di Castagnole Monferrato 2022 is medium bodied with scents of fresh cut lavender. On the palate, it’s an absolute delight, full of flavor but with an acid backbone that make it perfect to pair with almost any cuisine. Notes of wild fruits and a touch of pepper are just so good. This is a silky smooth, delicious bottle of wine.

The oft 100-point winemaker, Jayson Woodbridge had this to say when tasting his 2021 ‘Stargazing’ Sonoma Pinot: “The wine is vibrant and complex with subtle dark fruits and berries, grandmother’s cherry pie, minerals, and a slight touch of rain-soaked earth, intertwined with a balance and very pleasing easy-going luxury. Should have been priced higher but what the hell.” I have no doubt this clerical error will be addressed in the vintages moving forward. But for now, this is a cult Pinot for under $100/bottle.
