For many, myself included, this period is a vibrant tapestry of chaos and joy, creating memories that last a lifetime. And what better way to count down to Christmas than with an advent calendar? That exhilarating feeling of opening the first door on December 1st, discovering the delightful surprise waiting within, is truly unparalleled.
This year, the tradition takes a sophisticated turn with the limited edition 2020 Wine Advent Calendar. Available exclusively at Jewel-Osco and other Albertsons Companies family of stores, this calendar is a treasure trove for wine lovers. It features 24 distinct wines, each sourced from premier US wine regions renowned for their exceptional quality and diverse terroir, including the sun-drenched valleys of California, the lush vineyards of Washington, and the prestigious appellations of Oregon.
Imagine embarking on a daily wine journey, where each “door” opened reveals not just a new wine, but an opportunity to explore its story.

Gift Giving: The Ultimate Present for the Wine Aficionado
Finding the perfect gift for the wine lover in your life can often feel like a quest, but this Wine Advent Calendar simplifies it beautifully. It’s an exceptionally thoughtful and unique present that promises a month-long celebration rather than a fleeting moment. I personally know several people who would adore such a gift, and I’m confident you do too! When I picked up this advent calendar at my local Jewel-Osco, my immediate thought was to gift it to one of my dearest wine-loving girlfriends. It’s also conveniently available across the Albertsons Companies family of stores, including Albertsons, Safeway, Randalls, Tom Thumb, and Vons, making it accessible for everyone.
To make the gift even more special and comprehensive, I decided to curate a selection of delicious food items that would pair perfectly with the wines throughout the month. This thoughtful addition transforms the advent calendar from a simple gift into an entire experience. I chose a variety of gourmet dark chocolate biscuits, a delightful trio of hummus flavors, crisp pita crackers, a medley of premium mixed nuts, and a block of sharp cheddar cheese – all items known to complement a diverse range of wines. You could also consider adding artisanal crackers, a selection of cured meats, gourmet olives, or a small wine journal for tasting notes. Presenting this collection in a beautiful basket alongside the advent calendar would create a truly memorable and highly anticipated holiday gift.
Virtual Zoom Happy Hour: Connect and Taste Together
In an increasingly connected world, even when physically apart, shared experiences can bring immense joy. This holiday season, gather your closest friends – virtually! Each of you can purchase a Wine Advent Calendar, then set aside a dedicated time each evening, or a few times a week, to sample the wines together. It doesn’t have to be a long commitment; even a brief 15-minute check-in can make a significant difference.
December can often be a whirlwind of activities and obligations, making it challenging to find moments of peace and connection. Setting aside this special time to unwind, chat, and sip wine with your girlfriends is incredibly nourishing for the soul. It’s a fantastic opportunity to de-stress and reconnect. As you taste each wine, take notes on its aroma, flavor profile, and what you liked most. Experiment by pairing the wine with different sweet and/or savory snacks, comparing your observations and figuring out which wine emerges as the group favorite. This shared tasting journey is not only fun but also educational; you might just discover a new favorite varietal you never knew you loved, expanding your wine horizons together!
Date Night In: A Romantic Culinary Adventure for Two
For couples who cherish discovering new flavors together, the Wine Advent Calendar offers the perfect excuse for a series of romantic date nights in. This collection is a fantastic opportunity to sample a remarkable array of 17 distinct varietals, designed to suit every palate and encourage delightful experimentation. From beloved classics like the crisp Chardonnay, the bold Cabernet Sauvignon, and the elegant Pinot Noir, to lesser-known aromatic gems such as Gewürztraminer, there’s a new adventure waiting behind each door.
Imagine the scene: the kids are tucked snugly into bed (or your beloved fur babies are settled for the evening), a cozy fire crackles in the fireplace, setting a warm and inviting ambiance. One of you opens the advent door, revealing the day’s mystery wine, while your significant other can simultaneously delve into www.24daysofwine.com on a tablet or phone, reading aloud about the specific wine you’re about to sample – its region, its unique characteristics, and suggested pairings. Savor each sip, nibble on a perfectly paired snack, and simply appreciate one another’s company on a chilly, calm December night. This ritual provides a wonderful way to unwind, destress, and reconnect amidst the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, turning a simple evening into a memorable culinary and romantic experience.
Alone Time: Indulge in Well-Deserved Self-Care
Amidst the joyous chaos of the holiday season, finding moments for yourself is not just a luxury, but a necessity. We all need that precious alone time, don’t we? So, after all the planning, the endless shopping, and the meticulous wrapping, grant yourself the gift of pure relaxation. Slip into your coziest holiday-themed pajamas, put on your favorite show or movie, and pour yourself a glass of the day’s wine from your advent calendar. You absolutely deserve this quiet indulgence.
This daily ritual offers a perfect opportunity for self-care. Light a scented candle, put on some soothing music, or curl up with a good book. Each evening’s wine can be a small reward, a moment of peace to reflect on the day, or simply an excuse to disconnect from the demands of the season. It’s an act of self-love, allowing you to recharge your batteries and fully enjoy the festive spirit without feeling overwhelmed. I don’t know about you, but the anticipation is almost unbearable – I simply cannot WAIT until December 1st to begin this delightful journey of daily discovery and much-needed personal time!
