A Chef’s Take on a Simple Holiday Ham Dinner (with wine pairings!)

📍Butter + Whisk in North Myrtle Beach
📆 December 2025 Wine Dinner
🍷Browne Family Vineyards, Bex Winery, Famille Hugel
🍴Food + Wine Pairings

The holidays always look festive in the Christmas movies — cook something cozy, open a good bottle of wine, gather everyone around the table — but the behind-the-scenes to make that scene happen are a little bit stressful and chaotic.

This menu was created by Butter + Whisk and prepared by Chef Lindsey, with wine pairings explained by Will in a way that actually makes sense when you’re sitting down to eat — not standing in a wine shop aisle trying to remember tasting notes.

The Menu (and Why It Works)

Cornbread + Rosé
Featured wine: 2024 Bitner Estate Grenache Rosé from Browne Family Vineyards
Cornbread is rich, a little sweet, and deeply nostalgic. Paired with Chef Lindsey’s whipped butters? It’s magical. A dry rosé keeps things bright and fresh, cutting through the butter without overpowering the dish. It’s an easy first pairing that sets a relaxed tone for the meal.

Ham + Riesling
Featured Wine: BEX Riesling from Bex Winery
Ham can be salty, savory, and sometimes sweet — which is exactly why Riesling works so well. The acidity keeps everything balanced, and the slight sweetness plays beautifully with the flavors on the plate.

Dessert + Pinot Gris
Featured wine: Hugel ‘Classic’ Pinot Gris Alsace from Famille Hugel
Instead of ending the meal with something heavy, Pinot Gris keeps dessert feeling light and easy. It’s a gentle finish that lets the night wind down naturally.

This isn’t about perfection or presentation. It’s about food that feels familiar, wine that makes the whole meal better, and creating a table people don’t rush away from.

We filmed this during a small holiday gathering, but the ideas are meant to translate easily to your own home — whether you’re hosting a crowd or keeping things simple.
