Fall is officially here. The sweaters are coming out, the days are getting shorter, and suddenly everything tastes better with a little extra cozy.
Whether you’re hosting friends for dinner, heading to a fall get-together, planning your Thanksgiving lineup, or just looking for something good to pour on a crisp evening, we’ve got you covered.
From bright bubbles to bold Cabernet, here are five Bread & Butter wines to drink this fall.
2023 California Cabernet Sauvignon
There’s a reason Cabernet Sauvignon feels right at home when the temperatures start to drop. Our California Cabernet Sauvignon is smooth, rich, and ready for all the hearty meals fall brings with it.
Think burgers off the grill, slow-cooked short ribs, steak night, baked pasta, or your favorite takeout enjoyed from the couch. It’s an easy bottle to keep on hand when dinner calls for something a little more substantial.
Fall pairing: Braised short ribs, roasted mushrooms, or a classic cheeseburger.
2024 Los Carneros Pinot Noir
When you want a red that feels a little lighter but still has plenty of personality, reach for our Los Carneros Pinot Noir.
With bright red fruit, silky texture, and balanced acidity, Pinot Noir is one of those wines that can go just about anywhere your fall plans take you. It’s especially good alongside roasted vegetables, poultry, earthy flavors, and all those dishes that start appearing once the oven gets turned back on for the season.
Fall pairing: Herb-roasted chicken, mushroom risotto, or butternut squash ravioli.
2024 California Chardonnay
White wine season doesn’t end when summer does.
Our California Chardonnay brings the kind of smooth, rich character that fits right into fall. Pour a glass for a cozy night at home, Sunday dinner, or alongside something warm and creamy straight from the oven.
And if you’re already planning your Thanksgiving wines, Chardonnay is an easy crowd-pleaser to add to the table.
Fall pairing: Roast chicken, creamy pasta, baked brie, or mashed potatoes.
2021 Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon
Some fall nights deserve something special.
Our Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon is the bottle to bring out for a memorable dinner, a holiday gathering, or an evening when you want to slow down and enjoy what’s in your glass.
Pair it with the richer dishes of the season and let dinner linger a little longer.
Fall pairing: Filet mignon, rosemary-roasted lamb, aged cheeses, or a hearty holiday roast.
Everyday DOC Italian Prosecco
Fall calendars fill up fast. Football watch parties. Friendsgiving. Harvest dinners. Holiday kickoff parties. Random Friday nights that deserve bubbles.
That’s where Bread & Butter Prosecco comes in.
Fresh, lively, and made for celebrating, Prosecco is an easy way to start a gathering — or turn an ordinary evening into something a little more fun. Serve it chilled on its own or make it the base of your favorite fall spritz.
Fall pairing: A cheese and charcuterie board, salty snacks, or your favorite brunch spread.
Fall drink idea: Add a splash of apple cider to your Prosecco and garnish with a thin apple slice for a simple seasonal sip.
