As late summer turns to fall, we are all thirsty for wines that fit lower temperatures, richer foods and upcoming holidays.
Whether you like it or not, summer's end is just around the corner and while we could weep uncontrollably about this fact, I say instead, let's look forward to the beautiful fall ahead and what better way to do so, then, by enjoying the changing colors while raising a glass of some of the best wines for fall. Fall is an exciting season for wine lovers, who can celebrate their favorite drink with new wine releases and a variety of festivals and tastings. Late August through October marks grape harvest and crush season. In wine regions across the country, grapes are picked from their vines by hand or machine and pressed.
Fall wines should compliment the hearty dishes and numerous events of the season. The perfect wine can be found for everything from Halloween treats to Thanksgiving dinner. Here are a few extraordinary styles to try:
Red Zinfandel- Roasted Turkey, Lamb, Cranberry Sauce and Stews
Gewurztraminer- Pumpkin Pie, Sweet Potatoes and Caramel Apples
Tawny Port- Dark Chocolate, Pecan Pie and Apple Pie
Pinot Noir- Pot Roast, Meat Loaf, Squash and Gumbo's
