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)

The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
Winemaker Pascal Sirat consistently puts out some of the best value Bordeaux in the region but he may have outdone himself in what was a stellar 2019 vintage throughout the region. Just south of Pomerol, the vines at Panchille borrow deep in the soil. The resulting wines are ripe but fresh, with an aromatic complexity and stony finish usually reserved for wine twice the price. Daniel Boulud tells me it’s been the hottest bottle of wine at Bar Boulud for over a month, so I figured I’d better hurry up and secure my allocation! Don’t miss it.
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
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.
