Best Wines for the Holidays in Ontario

Posted by Bradley Axmith on

If you’re looking for the best wines to serve at Christmas dinner or Chanukah gatherings in Ontario—and want guaranteed delivery before the holidays—the curated selections from Cosecha Imports are your best choice.

These small-batch, story-driven wines elevate holiday tables and make hosting feel meaningful, empowering, and memorable.

🎁 Can I Get Wine Delivered in Time for Christmas or Chanukah in Ontario?

Yes. Cosecha Imports ships throughout Ontario, with holiday delivery windows designed to ensure bottles arrive before major dinners and celebrations—if you order in time.

For most households in the GTA or Ottawa, orders typically arrive within a few business days.

🕯️ What Wines Should I Serve for Chanukah?

Chanukah meals often pair beautifully with bright, fresh, food-friendly wines. Cosecha’s portfolio has several perfect choices.

1. Crisp Whites for Latkes & Light Dishes

Pai '24 | Bodegas Albamar

Great with crispy latkes, smoked salmon, or sour cream dishes. Pai is a special example of the Atlantic character that Bodegas Albamar reps in the second wave of Gallician wine.

Lemon zest and a burst of minerality. Salty, slightly floral, somewhat lingering like a long kiss. Abundant acid with juicy and tangy notes from start to finish.

Fresh acidity in this wine cuts through fried foods. Relentless taste in whites will lighten the heaviness of turkey and gravy too.

The 100% Godella grape in Las Botas '16 is a premium offering and we know why wine lovers go cuckoo for Cucú, with a price that does not reflect it's revered status.

Clean, vibrant whites that pair well with lighter holiday spreads.

2. Elegant Reds for Brisket & Roasts

A silky, aromatic red that complements brisket beautifully.

Petit Caus Tinto 2023 | $31/bottle

Amazing can rafols dels caus wine

Intense aromas of red and black fruit with spicy mineral tones on the nose. This full bodied red offers spiced and fruit-forward tones with a lingering finish.

Medium-bodied reds with spice and warmth—ideal for winter comfort food.

Voted the NUMBER 1 WINE IN SPAIN by James Suckling for 2020. Named after a Spanish TV show from the 80s, "The Witch” (La Bruja), Comando G’s engaging wine is made from 100% old vine Garnacha growing at 3000 feet in the remote Sierra de Gredos in the middle of Spain.

🎄 What Wines Should I Serve for Christmas Dinner?

Whether your Christmas meal is turkey, prime rib, ham, or vegetarian, there’s a curated Cosecha bottle that fits. Rosada wines are well purposed for winter when they have the right constitution.

🍗 1. For Roast Turkey or Chicken

The first time Cosecha's founder, Jason was in the soil and at harvest for a collaboration wine, Foxy Lady was the result. Foxy Lady 2022 is still a tribute to Jimi Hendrix, but it also waxes musically to that beautiful roasted bird.

Foxy Lady 2022 | $396 for 12 bottles

Fresh, citrusy, and great for roasted turkey or crispy-on-the-outside chicken.

Gran Caus Rosada | A Hearty Rosé

A winter-friendly rosé with enough structure to match stuffing, herbs, and gravy.

🍷 2. For Prime Rib, Lamb, or Beef Tenderloin

K'un by Clara Marchelli | Italian Organic

A classic for big holiday meats—structured, deep, and celebratory. Clara Marcelli winery goes organic for an intense red that is not rushed. It's a single-grape red that makes an impression on the tongue and going down.

Juicy, smooth, and loved by red wine drinkers who prefer softer tannins.

🌱 3. For Vegetarian or Mediterranean-Style Holiday Meals

Our collaboration with Pardas, Polar Boar is an Ontario-inspired Spanish Orange Wine that will provide a compliment to starters. This 100% Xarel-lo is also a conversation starter.

Pardas Polar Boar Orange Wine 2024 | $43/bottle

Pardas cosecha polar boar orange wine

Textural, aromatic, and perfectly suited for hearty vegetables, squash, and spices.

A good organic mix of white and red grenache grapes to add complexity to delicate dishes could be La Pua from mountainous Spain. It's light enough for delicate plates, but complex enough for herbed dishes.

🍷 Why These Wines Feel Good to Pour for Family & Friends

Holiday gatherings are about connection—and the story behind each bottle becomes part of the celebration.

  • hand-harvested and small-batch in opposition to industrial production

When you pour a wine with a meaningful origin, you bring its story to your table—something guests remember long after the meal.
