Seasonal Favorites For A Not-So-Spooky Fall

Cost: Free

You don't need to be scared to join this Saturday's free wine tasting from noon-4pm. Just thirsty! Looking past tonight's candy extravaganza, we'll be sharing five wines perfect for the season that's here and what's coming as 2026 draws to a close. Join us to sample:

Kuentz-Bas Alsace Blanc 2025 - A complex and aromatic old-school Alsatian blend of Sylvaner, Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Pinot Gris, and Gewurztraminer; aged entirely in big, century-old barrels called foudres. Great with sausages, fish - and turkey!

Dom Maurice Martin Macon-Peronne Les Gentillehommes 2024 - White Burgundy's combination of richness and minerality make it great with all kinds of autumnal foods. This one's delicious and a great value, too!

Torre Raone Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC 2024 - While Montepulciano isn't unusual, one this good and pure definitely is! No oak, no over-ripeness, just dark, juicy, fruit for sipping and Thanksgiving!

Ch Bel Air Bordeaux Rouge 2025 - A great late-season grilling and autumnal roast and stew companion, this 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet from a family-run estate in Southeastern Bordeaux delivers both fruit and classic Bordeaux style.

Terres d'Avignon Cotes du Rhone 2024 - The legendary Kermit Lynch knows how to pick great wines, like this Grenache/Syrah blend that's both warmly gutsy and comfortably drinkable.

All the wines will be on sale during the tasting and you can mix/match your way to best six-bottle or more deals where they apply. So knowing that Halloween will be soon past, come check out the wines you'll be enjoying in November, December and beyond!
