So I have been a little busy the last few weeks due to the holidays and getting my wisdom teeth removed. I am currently laying on the couch recovering, so I figured I might as well do something productive and write about the last few wines in the 2019 CraftEaze Advent Calendar. This list is a little bit longer than the last two lists, but there were several repeats.
Christmas is getting closer each day. Hopefully, you have most of your shopping done by now. I still have a few more gifts to go, but I”m almost done. Yesterday, was December 14. That means the second week of the CraftEaze advent calendar is complete.
It’s that time of year again where everyone is getting ready for Christmas. It’s so easy to get overwhelmed by finding gifts for your friends and family members, decorating your house, and planning holiday parties. But it is so important to find a way to remember to do something for yourself during this busy time. One way that you can do this is by having an Advent calendar. My personal favorite as an adult is a wine Advent calendar.

We are approaching the end of the CraftEaze Wine Advent Calendar. It has been a fun couple of weeks, but its finally time to finish the Advent calendar. Today, I will go over the wines for December 18-24. Below are the links for the first 17 wines, just in case you missed them. This week we will have a couple of sparkling wines highlighted since Christmas is so close!
These wines would be perfect to drink while watching the Hallmark Channel or Netflix. Here is the official Hallmark Channel Christmas movie line-up. These wines would also be perfect to drink while you work on some last minute Christmas gifts. A perfect quick gift idea that you can make for a friend or family member would be these boot cuffs or this laptop sleeve.
This is a red wine that can be picked up at Aldi. So with that said it is fairly inexpensive, but also tasty. This is a dry wine that would be perfect to serve with beef, lamb, or poultry. You can smell blueberries and currents with a hint of caramel and cherries.
Christmas is only 6 days away! Since it is less than a week away, I felt it is only appropriate to highlight a sparkling wine. This is a sweet sparkling rosé that can be bought at Aldi. The Sparkling Moscato Rosé has a nice strawberry flavor and would be perfect to enjoy while watching The Santa Clause.
This white wine would be great to serve with a nice seafood or pasta dinner. It has a peach and apple flavor that is refreshing. The pinot grigio can be bought at Aldi. This would be perfect to drink as you watch Christmas with the Kranks and try to come up with a way to free Frosty.
Today is the first day of winter and also it happens to be Friday! This is one of the best Fridays of the year because for many people it is the start of Christmas vacation or an extremely long weekend. To celebrate the start to this long weekend, have a glass of this white zinfandel. This white zinfandel is sweet and has a cranberry flavor that could be enjoyed with a salad or an Asian dinner. You can find this wine at Aldi.
This red wine is from Chile. It tastes like blackberry and cherry and has a slight hint of spice. This wine would be perfect to drink with a steak dinner or pasta.
This is one of my favorite Aldi wine. It is sweet and easy to drink. I love to drink this while working on a craft project. I think it has a peach and honey flavor. This wine also pairs well with Mexican food or dessert.
Today is Christmas Eve! Hopefully, you have all of your gifts wrapped and under the tree. To celebrate the end of Advent, have a glass of this prosecco. This wine is dry but is very easy to drink. It smells of honeysuckles and pear. Go ahead and buy two bottles of this wine, because you can use one bottle for mimosa to severe tomorrow at your Christmas morning brunch.
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!!!!

This is part 3 of our special wine Advent calendar. Since I was unable to pick up an Advent wine calendar at Aldi this year, I decided to make my own wine Advent calendar. For part 3, we will go over the wines from December 11 to December 17. If you would like to get caught up, you can read the following posts:
This is a few days late because Thanksgiving was super crazy. But on a side note, I was able to say yes to my wedding dress and finished a portion of the save the dates because my mom was in town!! Since the third week of Advent is the pink candle on the Advent wreath, this week will feature 3 rosé wines, 2 white wines, and 2 red wines.
The Prophecy Rosé was the subject of an in-depth wine review earlier this year. This rose is perfect for Saturday morning brunch or to drink while watching a Hallmark Christmas movie!
This chardonnay can be found at Aldi. This Chardonnay is from Washington state. It smells like granny smith apples and has notes of pear, oak, and vanilla. This wine would pair well with a chicken dinner.
This red wine is slightly carbonated and is a sweeter wine. This wine has a strawberry and cherry flavor. It would be perfect with a pasta meal, but it is easy enough to drink alone while watching a Hallmark movie. You can find this wine at Aldi.
This is another rosé that can be bought at Aldi. This White Zinfandel is from California. It is sold in 1.5-liter bottles, so its a pretty good deal. It is a sweeter wine that has a strawberry flavor. This wine would be a good table wine for a Christmas celebration dinner with your friends.
This is a Riesling from Germany. It smells like honeysuckles and apples. The wine tastes like peach and apples (similar to other Rieslings). This wine would be perfect to serve with a fish dinner. You can find this Riesling at Aldi.
This red wine is from California. It has notes of blueberry, black pepper, cherry, and licorice. This Zinfandel has a fruity taste that finishes slightly smokey. It would be perfect with a grilled steak. You can find this wine at Aldi.
This rosé is from France, but you can find it at Aldi. This wine is a dry wine, but it tastes like strawberries. It would be refreshing to drink after a hard day work while watching another Hallmark Christmas movie.
What is your favorite Aldi wine? Have we covered it yet??
Happy Crafting!
