Destination Cellars logoDULLES, VA (October 10, 2012) ? Destination Cellars, the first and only luxury destination wine club, in collaboration with internationally renowned chef Jos? Andr?s, is offering three carefully crafted wine packages this holiday season.

?I cannot imagine a great meal without wine and for the guests at my restaurants we always strive to provide fascinating varieties,? said Chef Jos? Andr?s. ?The wine is such an important part of telling the story of the people and places that inspire our cuisine ? whether it is the roots of Spanish cuisine as at Jaleo or the reimagined Greek, Turkish and Lebanese fare at Zaytinya. In addition there are the extraordinary bottlings that can elevate an experience to be unforgettable. The selections we have put together can help you learn all the talent and passion that goes into wine making.?
