Fall Wine Recommendations

Peak Fall

Discover our five favorite wines of the season:

Keep it Classic

 Vincent Prunier, Auxey-Duresses Blanc  130

Vincent Prunier is a small production, sustainable yet classic producer in Burgundy.  White Burgundy is a no-brainer for autumn, and we love this hand-harvested expression for its richness, minerality and bright acidity.

Weird & Wonderful

Liatiko, Domaine Economou, 'Antigone,' Sitia, Crete 2004  250

Economou is Greece's most mysterious and sought-after cult winemaker, and Antigone is his incredibly complex crown jewel.  Made from 90-year old vines, Antigone is often likened to a gorgeously aged Burgundy, with notes of delicate red fruit, mountain herbs, and fine tannins.

100% Mediterranean

Morokanela, Vouni Panayia, 'Woman in the Wine Press,' Cyprus  115

Vouni Panayia is a sustainable winery focused on reinterpreting indigenous varietals of their unique terroir.  Pair with the decadent dishes of the season for a hit of freshness (notes of green apple, lime, and fennel) alongside richer bites.

Italian Spotlight

Pinot Noir, Gian Luca Colombo, Langhe  100

This biodynamically produced wine has notes of truffle, cinnamon and pomegranate - the perfect autumnal wine.  Gian Luca Colombo's respect for the environment and the purity of the varietal make for elegant, terroir-driven wines.

Cheap & Cheerful

Cabernet Franc, Lame Delisle Boucard, Bourgueil, Loire Valley  75

Not quite ready to commit to a heavy red?  Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley is earthy, rustic and light - and also delicious when chilled.  This versatile wine compliments a variety of dishes and even works as an uber-quaffable aperitif.
