Customize Your Holiday Cellar Door Club Release
Start with your four-bottle Holiday Cellar Door Club Release, then, if you’d like, add a few extra bottles to cover Christmas, New Year’s Eve, or quiet winter evenings.
Kramer Vineyards is a family-owned estate in the Yamhill-Carlton District, led by second-generation winemaker Kim Kramer. Your Holiday Cellar Door Release brings together sparkling, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir from our hillside vineyards so you can choose the mix that fits the season ahead.
Step 1: Confirm Your Holiday Cellar Door Club Release
Your December Cellar Door Club allocation includes one club-only sparkling wine, a winter-ready Chardonnay, and two estate Pinot Noirs from our cellar. It’s a flexible mix you can tailor to your own plans—whether you’re hosting, visiting friends, or simply stocking a few special bottles for the season ahead.
- NV Brut (Club-Only Estate Sparkling)
Pinot-led, bone-dry sparkling with crisp red apple, lemon peel, and mineral tension. Your first pour for guests and a natural match for salty snacks and seafood.
- 2019 Chardonnay Estate
Cool-climate “winter white” from a throwback vintage: citrus oil, pineapple, a subtle evergreen note, and a focused mineral spine. Built for crab, roast bird, and creamy sides.
- 2017 Pinot Noir Dijon 115 (Library Release)
Lifted, red-fruited estate Pinot: cranberry, strawberry, black tea, and spice with bright acidity. The “flavor without weight” red that moves easily from canapés to lighter mains.
- 2017 Pinot Noir Heritage (Library Release)
One of our signature single blocks, showing deeper spice and earth: dried cherry, candied orange, clove, and a long, comforting finish. The center-of-the-table Pinot for a full spread.
Review & customize your release in the order section below: adjust quantities, and add extra bottles to your club allocation if you wish.
On the order form below: wines with a quantity of 1 are included in your Holiday Cellar Door Club Release. You can increase those quantities or add any wines currently at 0 to build the lineup that fits your plans.
Step 2 (Optional): Add a Few Bottles for the Season
Your Cellar Door Release may be all you need—and that’s perfectly fine. If you’re hosting, planning multiple gatherings, or like to have a few “just in case” bottles on hand, you can use the ideas below to round out your holiday lineup.
Think in five “jobs” for your holiday wines:
- Special-Occasion Sparkling – for toasts and festive bites
- Luxury Red for the Main Event – for prime rib, duck, or goose
- Versatile Savory Red – for turkey, stuffing, and all the sides
- Elegant White – for seafood and creamy dishes
- Sweet Finale – for dessert and cheese to finish the night
In Your Club Release vs. Add-On Companions
The wines below don’t replace your club bottles—they’re here to complete your Cellar Door Release and help you fill any gaps in your holiday plans. Whether you add one special bottle or build a full mixed case is entirely up to you.

Your release has no dessert wine

Luscious late-harvest expression of a Kramer signature grape: apricot, honey, peach nectar, white flowers, and bright acidity.

Example: A Holiday Lineup for Hosts
If you’re hosting a crowd or want to be set from Christmas through New Year’s, here’s one way to turn your four-bottle Cellar Door Release into a mixed holiday case:
- 3 × NV Brut (arrival pours & New Year’s Eve)
- 2 × 2017 Brut Blanc de Blancs Prestige Cuvée (special toasts)
- 2 × Pinot Noir Heritage (2017 + 2022 for a “then vs. now” main-course flight)
- 2 × 2021 Pinot Noir Estate (versatile dinner red for sides and second helpings)
- 2 × Chardonnay (2019 Estate and/or 2022 Aurum Hill for crab, bird, and creamy dishes)
- 1 × 2020 Essence of Müller-Thurgau (dessert & cheese)
Use this as inspiration, then build the mix that fits your plans—whether that’s one extra bottle or a full case. There’s no “right” quantity; the goal is simply to have the wines you’ll be glad to reach for.
