The holidays don’t have to be complicated… as far as the food goes anyway! Long lists of ingredients and complicated recipes are great if you have the time, but when you’re rushing to get things ready for guests. Just set out a few simple nibbles, a selection of Gooseneck Vineyards wines and enjoy the perfect holiday evening.
