15 Wines Fit For Holiday Feasting

There was a time when preparing for the holidays was easy. You bought a turkey and a ham and hoped that both would be done within a couple hours of when you told everyone the meal would be on the table. Wines? A bottle of chardonnay and a bottle of pinot noir had everything and everyone covered.

As a result, there is a subtlety of wine for every subtlety of flavor that comes from the kitchen. We picked out a case of wines for the holidays and then threw in another three for good measure.
