There is something wonderfully fitting about Halloween arriving just as wine country catches its breath after harvest. Across wine country, the energy of harvest slowly gives way to the quieter pleasures of autumn: cooler evenings, longer dinners, and the simple comfort of sharing a good bottle with friends.
That is why we like to think of Halloween as more than costumes and candy. For wine lovers, it's also Hallowine.
The Perfect Excuse to Gather
Halloween doesn't require a grand event.
Sometimes the best celebrations are the simplest: a few friends around a kitchen island, a pot of something warming on the stove, a platter of local cheeses, and a favorite bottle uncorked at the end of the day.
The season invites us to slow down and to linger just a little longer over a glass of wine.
A Few Frightfully Good Pairings

- Sparkling wine paired with salty snacks and festive appetizers
No tricks required.
Just good food, good wine, and good company.
