Last month, we soaked up the season with light reds and crisp whites… Wines for warm evenings that were all about staying cool and refreshed.

But now? The breeze is shifting, sweaters are reappearing, and your glass might be craving something a little deeper.

As we ease into autumn, it’s the perfect time to welcome wines that bring warmth, spice, and comfort to your table.

Fuller Reds for Fireside Moments

When the sun sets earlier and the meals get heartier, your wine can too.

🍷 Merlot – Smooth, velvety, and easygoing. Pairs well with roasted root vegetables or a cozy mushroom risotto.

🍷 Malbec – Dark, plush, and full of blackberry and spice. Perfect with grilled meats, smoky stews, or anything involving mushrooms and thyme.

🍷 Grenache – Soft tannins, ripe fruit, and just the right amount of warmth—think autumn casseroles or smoky eggplant.

Aromatic Whites That Still Shine

You don’t need to let go of white wine—just shift into something a little more textured.

🥂 Viognier – Rich and floral, this one’s a match for roasted squash or creamy chicken dishes.

🥂 Gewürztraminer – A touch of spice and sweetness pairs beautifully with pumpkin dishes, fall curries, or even apple-glazed pork.

🥂 Chardonnay – Versatile and cozy, Its richness stands up to heartier meals while still keeping things elegant. Go for a lightly oaked version with roasted squash, creamy pastas, or buttery chicken dishes.

This season, look for wines that feel like they belong in a knit blanket…

A little warmer, a little deeper, but still easy to love.

And if you're ever torn between opening white or red… well, it is layering season.

Why not both?

To the slow sips and longer nights ahead. 🍂🍷
