Château Mouton Rothschild needs no introduction. A Premier Cru Classé from Bordeaux, the wine is known for its deep notes of blackcurrant, graphite, and spice. And its history is just as rich. Since 1945, each vintage has featured a label by a different artist, from Picasso and Dalí to Warhol. For the 2023 bottle, a Portuguese artist joined the lineage: Joana Vasconcelos. Her label shows swirling vines and star-like forms in vivid color, a graphic rendering of the wine-making process and a perfect way to bring in the holidays.

Nothing tears families apart post-holiday dinner like a heated game of Monopoly or Uno (or, dammit, even charades!) But puzzles? That’s the stuff that brings generations together, huddled around a table in a dimly lit room, hot chocolate in hand, quietly working as a team to make the seemingly impossible possible. The fact that French fashion house Dior has come up with their own Christmas-themed, 1,000-piece set, depicting their 30 Avenue Montaigne boutique, is just the couture icing on the cake.

When the New York weather forecast predicts a colder, snowier than usual winter, drastic measures must be taken. Thankfully, luxury sleepwear brand Olivia von Halle is taking warmth and comfort to the next level with their 100 percent cashmere Vanderbilt Osaka Navy Pajamas. This sophisticated set, available in four colors, is perfect for reading the latest issue of Air Mail on a quiet, especially frosty Saturday morning while lounging by the fire.

What do Miles Davis, Prince, Meat Loaf, Larry David, Patti Smith, Bruce Springsteen, Ringo Starr, Dolly Parton, Lou Reed, Elvis Costello, and Bob Dylan have in common? They were among the thousands of musicians (and handful of comedians) who performed at the Bottom Line (1974–2004), which gets a fine, anecdote-heavy, photo-filled oral history in Positively Fourth and Mercer, by Allan Pepper and Billy Altman. Pepper and his childhood friend Stanley Snadowsky created their landmark 400-seat club with superb bookings, great sound, decent sightlines, and notoriously unpretentious food. Entertainingly assembled from interviews with performers, staff, and patrons, the book doubles as a slice of New York cultural and economic history—an era not very long ago when sliding across a $5 or $10 bill at a certain downtown box-office window secured a little cardboard ticket to an intimate evening of music from a table a few feet from the stage. Not bad. ($44.95, amazon.com) —George Kalogerakis

Portland artist Maggie Rudy has a knack for knickknacks. She builds miniature, picturesque worlds populated by even smaller (and cuter) residents: felt mice. Now Rudy is taking over Air Mail’s West Village Newsstand for the holidays, transforming it into a cozy winter wonderland—or should we say, Mouseland? At 546 Hudson Street, coffee-table books and twinkling lights set the perfect, playful stage for her whimsical creatures. (instagram.com) —Maggie Turner
