There&#8217;s nothing better than a big, bold red for a cozy night in front of the fire place, or a cool and crisp white paired with the perfect meal. And with the holidays fast approaching, a nice bottle of wine makes the perfect gift for someone who seems to have everything &#8211; or the last minute purchase for the office party. We&#8217;ve recently been introduced to <a
href="http://jaqkcellars.com">JAQK Cellars</a> and already have a call in to the wine shop for a few samples. With eight varietals to uncork and a reasonable price range, consider our glasses ready. Now if you&#8217;re unfamiliar, or just beginning, with wines we&#8217;ve still got you covered.</p><p><span
id="more-784"></span>Ranging in price from $19 to $68, you may want to reserve them for your special guests or dinner parties. And speaking of special guests, their flagship <a
href="http://jaqkcellars.com/wine-jaqk-cellars-wine-collection-napa-valley-sonoma-coast/high-roller">High Roller</a>, is made from 100% Napa Valley grapes and harvested by hand. <em>Less than 600 cases of this wine have been made</em>.</p><p>As we said, you might not be <a
href="http://www.wineintro.com/basics/gettinginto.html">familiar with wines</a>, <a
href="http://www.winespectator.com/video/index/playerid/353549858/lineupid/236034485/titleid/236034486">how they&#8217;re made</a> or <a
href="http://tv.winelibrary.com/2009/11/03/what-wine-pairs-with-chicken-nuggets-episode-762/">what you should even be looking for</a> in a wine. To get started, we recommend having a <a
href="http://wine.about.com/od/holidayswithwine/ht/Winetastingpart.htm">wine party</a> and just have everyone that shows up bring a bottle of their favorite (or random from the shelf). An informal tasting amongst friends really is the best way to get yourself introduced to the wonderful world of wine.</p><p>We honestly could go on for hours about <em>our</em> experiences getting started, the wines we love to keep on hand (see above), and the special occasion wines (see above) we can&#8217;t wait to have again, but we&#8217;ll leave all of that for discussion below. Drop us a line and let us know what your favorite wines are, or any experiences and advice you have for anyone just beginning <em>their</em> love affair.</p><ul><li><a
