🎄🎅 🎬 Christmas Movie Pairings

Christmas Movie: Lilo & Stitch

While Lilo & Stitch (the animated film) isn’t known as a Christmas movie, I would argue that it exemplifies characteristics typically found in one: the sense of belonging, the importance of family, aliens, a hot tropical beach, etc… I would often watch this with my family around the holidays so it has become tradition. A Christmas episode later came out while the tv series was airing. Best paired with the Echeverria Chardonnay that sees part stainless steel and part oak, along with tropical fruit, lees aging, and malolactic fermentation. Imagine yourselves on a sunny beach in Hawaii while drinking this lovely and NEW Chardonnay.
