items My running list of the best wines to sip on + pair with a cozy fall meal as the weather starts to cool down!
This French wine is a stunning Grenache-dominated blend coming from a historic region that has been used for winemaking for centuries. Ripe red and black berries, cocoa, black pepper, and morello cherry make this wine feel warm and inviting for the f...
Domaine de la Solitude Chateaneuf du Pape, 2021
My favorite thing about picking wine for the season is having a little fun and buying things I normally wouldn't! I picked up this orange wine simply to bring to a fall night with friends and it was a huge hit. This is a Pinot Grigio from Veneto, Ita...
Armani Orange From the Basement
I had this last night after finding it in Total Wine's high ranked section at such an incredible price point! This Chianti Classico feels fresh, is full of red fruit, and has a hint of spice that makes it lovely for fall. I am obsessed with Italian w...
Tenuta di Renieri Chianti Classico, 2023
This Brunello di Montalcino has notes of dried cherry, tobacco, and leather. This wine is a fantastic pairing for a cozy fall meal like roasted lamb and Italian tomato sauce dishes.
Argiano Brunello di Montalcino, 2020
The perfect late fall to early winter transitional wine! I love this Spanish Tempranillo blend with it's dark cherry and oak notes as the season gets colder. Best paired with meals such as rosemary lamb chops, duck breasts, and rich mushroom-based so...
Muga Rioja Reserva Unfiltered, 2021

Marc Bonadieu Chateauneuf du Pape
This Australian Barossa Valley Shiraz is full of blackberries, back plum, dark chocolate, and a hint of smoke. A rich and powerful wine that pairs best with grilled steaks, smoked brisket, and sharp aged cheeses. Such a perfect cozy addition as the d...
Two Hands Shiraz Gnarly Dudes, 2021
A lot of people have no idea that Tokaj, Hungary is famous for their Furmint wine! This specific bottle is a dry Furmint, the apples and stone fruit make it a perfect refreshing white for fall evenings. Best paired with roasted chicken and squash.
Chateau Megyer Tokaji Furmint (Dry)
A new pick for me, I absolutely love this bottle from Piemonte! I paired it with a pasta with homemade tomato sauce & drank it chilled outside on a fall evening!
G.D. Vajra - Dolcetto d'Alba 2024
What is better than Gamay in the fall? Seriously, it’s the perfect season for enjoying a bottle of Beaujolais. This wine comes from the southern tip of the Burgundy region in France, famous for producing Gamay & Pinot Noir (both of which are perf...
Chateau De Jarnioux Beaujolais
Yes, this bottle is also in my ‘hidden gems’ list - but this is both a fantastic hidden gem AND a perfect bottle for fall. When I think fall, I feel Gamay, Pinot Noir, & Cabernet Franc. I love this bottle as the weather begins to cool down!
Philippe Chainier Chinon Cabernet Franc
