As the year winds down and the holiday bubbles start flowing, we’re already looking ahead to the first big treat of 2026: a brilliant batch of pre-arrival beauties scheduled to land between December 2025 and February 2026. Consider it the encore to your holiday celebrations, and one worth saving a spot for in the cellar.

This upcoming release brings together a seriously exciting cast, think California Cults, First Growth favorites, and Italian heavy-hitters that never fail to charm. From powerhouses to quiet overachievers, each bottle has the pedigree and provenance to make collectors grin like kids unwrapping presents.

If you're in the mood to start the New Year with something extraordinary, this is your moment to get ahead of the curve.
