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)

2016 happens to be one of the highest rated ever (98pts, Wine Spectator) so it was no surprise that this year’s made the cut. The 2016 Riserva which was just released, is an intense version steeped in complex layers of flavor. It’s compact and well built with a touch of leather that compliments dark cherries, fresh licorice and a hint of cocoa all framed on a mineral backbone.
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.

“The 2020 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is truly sensational. It begins with striking aromas of fresh blackberries, blueberries and dark plums that are laced with fresh spring florals, mocha, sweet exotic spices, graphite and gravel nuances all taking shape. The palate is full-bodied and displays a remarkable combination of power and elegance throughout. This is beautifully structured and extremely expressive, as it possesses outstanding depth and concentration all they way through the long, finessed finish. Year after year, the Columbia Valley Cabernet is one of the most impressive wines, and there is no exception here, as it combines all the wonderful qualities of the 2020 vintage from Quilceda Creek into one expression. This is fantastic already and readers will be in for a real treat, as this simply marvelous wine will continue to deliver the goods for years to come.”
This is rich, powerful Cabernet, just jammed with black-cherry and blackberry fruit, tightly framed by firm tannins. This wine is structured to last but has a fruit quality to it that will make it hard not to drink this holiday season with any type of roasted meat.
