Make a statement with Chandon Holiday Limited Edition bottles of crisp, golden Blanc de Noirs. Wrapped in chic winter white and emblazoned with the golden phrases 'The Party Starts Here," "Pour on the Fun," and "I am the After Party," these sparkling wines let you express yourself perfectly. Characteristically marked by cherry, currant, and strawberry aromas, Chandon offers flavors that build in the mid-palate and finish with a soft, lingering creamy texture. Though the Limited Edition Holiday bottles will be around just until Jan. 31, Chandon has a diverse portfolio of outstanding sparkling and still wines made from traditional French Champagne grapes grown in California using centuries-old winemaking techniques.

Made from a blend of rums from Barbados and Guyana, Dos Maderas PX is aged with a three-stage maturing process--first resting for five years in the Caribbean, followed by three more at the Williams & Humbert facilities in casks which have aged "Dos Cortados" (Palo Cortado), and then a third stage in butts which have previously aged "Don Guido" sherry (Pedro Ximenez) for 20 years. This gives Dos Maderas PX its very dark amber color with delicate hints of raisins, fig, and vanilla. This high-quality rum should be served either neat or on the rocks. Dedicated to those who know about rum, it also may be enjoyed in luxury mixers with flavored soft drinks, carbonated or not. Visit www.rondosmaderas.com for more information.
