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)

In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
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.
