Holiday Movies with Ruby Hill Wines

'Tis the season for a night in with a glass of wine and a movie! We've rounded up some holiday classics along with pairing suggestions to get you into the festive relaxation zone. 

A Christmas Story
with Reserve Chardonnay

Sometimes Christmas is about getting what you really want. Sometimes, you want a Red Ryder BB gun, sometimes you want a leg lamp, and sometimes you just want a chilled glass of exquisite Chardonnay.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas
with Sauvignon Blanc 

All Whos beware: He's mean and green! Though Sauvignon Blanc is a white wine, the grapes themselves are a green worthy of the Grinch and his grin. 

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
with Cuvée Dray 

Our precious Dray won't be pulling a sleigh this Christmas, but he's still our little reindeer. This classic film is perfectly complimented by a Bordeaux blend. 

Love, Actually
with Armonia Lot #11

Stories intertwine and intermingle  with this heartwarming narrative the same way our Armonia (which means "harmony" brings together different varietals and vintages. 

It's a Wonderful Life
with Jewel Cabernet Sauvignon

A film celebrating its 75th year and described as "The most loved Christmas film of all time" deserves a glass of our critically acclaimed and absolutely classic Cabernet. 

Elf
with Solera Dessert Wine

Buddy the Elf identifies the food groups of Elves: candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup. He'd approve of this luxuriously sweet port-style wine, perhaps alongside dark chocolate peppermint bark. 

The Muppet Christmas Carol 
with Grapeful Red

If you need a little bit of fun and whimsy, then you need this film alongside our tie-dyed Grapeful Red. In the hustle and bustle of the season, life's too short to take too seriously. 

Die Hard
with Reserve Petite Sirah

If you are someone who passionately insists that Die Hard is a Christmas film, we recommend our Reserve Petite Sirah, because strong opinions deserve bold flavors. 

Home Alone
with Sparkling Wine

While Kevin's family is off in France, sip on wine popularized by the Champagne region—and imagine just how Kevin could use an exploding sparkling bottle against some thugs!
