Already stressed for New Year’s Eve ✨🎅✨?

If hosting a big dinner at home freaks you out, trust me, you’re not alone. That’s why, every New Year’s Eve, we keep it simple.

Everyone brings a dish. I bring the wine. 🍷

The specialty all my friends ask for every year? Stuffed pork 🍖 with prunes and chestnut 🌰. This time we paired with the 2022 Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon by rsvineyards aka Rodney Strong Vineyards.

And we clearly had a winner!

An amazing label brought to your door as always by californianwines_eu 🇺🇸, delivering the best wines from California across Europe 🌍✈️📦!

And this is a wine with a real story behind it. Rodney Strong was already envisioning Sonoma County 🍃 as a world-class wine region back in 1959, long before it became what it is today. Since 1989, the winery has been family-owned by the Klein family 👫, continuing that vision with a strong focus on sustainability, community, and farming for the future.

Knights Valley, the easternmost appellation of Sonoma, is defined by warm days ☀️, cool nights ❄️, and volcanic soils, a place that gives Cabernet depth without losing balance. Add careful water management and long-term sustainable practices ♻️, and you get a wine that feels grounded, confident, and made for the table.

That’s why it worked. The richness of the dish, the structure of the wine, the way both asked you to slow down and stay present. We ended the night the only way that felt right: dessert and bubbles. 💕

Now it’s time for the New Year’s Eve 😏, challenge accepted! What’s the one dish your friends always ask you to make? 🍽️
