![]() It’s a French wine made with the Chenin Blanc grape that’s full-bodied, ranges from dry to a little sweet to very sweet, and has great acidity. I could add Vouvray to every “best of” list I can think up, but I think it’s probably most fitting for fall. Personal recommendation: Trimbach Pinot Blanc ($16) 3. It’s similar to a Riesling in that it can vary in how sweet or dry it is based on the level of residual sugar, but to me it’s a bit rounder and silkier in texture, making it ideal for fall. Heftier than a Pinot Grigio/Gris, Pinot Blanc is the quintessential autumnal white wine in my opinion. Personal recommendation: Les Piliers Viogni er ($17) 2. If you’re a fan of Chardonnay and want to branch out, Viognier is a really nice alternative! ![]() It pours a deep golden color and is has a nice silky texture that goes perfectly with a fall squash dish. Viognier is a grape that makes full-bodied, super aromatic white wines. So let’s get to the best wines for fall this year! You should be able to find these bottles fairly easily at a Total Wine, but if not, the varietals are common enough that you’ll still be able to track down a similar bottle for under $20. I believe every type of wine deserves a chance to be drank year-round, be it white, pink, orange, or whatever color they come up with next. You’ll also notice that “red” is not a criteria. My picks won’t all be earthy or blends, because these are not hard and fast rules. This criteria is pretty subjective, but that’s okay! Wine is fun and doesn’t need to be that serious. That said, I’ve included plenty of single varietals below too. Blends: Something about autumn makes people crave blends instead of single varietals.(I’m not talking white zin here - just a hint of sweetness is what we’re looking for.) Can involve a higher amount of residual sugar, which results in a slightly sweeter wine. Cozy: Hard to measure, but you know it when you feel it.Earthy: It doesn’t have to be like licking dirt, but earthy wines go so well with fall produce (squash, root vegetables, etc.).Medium to full-bodied : We’re not just trying to beat the heat and stay hydrated, so we can graduate to heftier varietals. ![]() I love sharing new wines I’ve found that are perfect for the weather, along with varietals that I haven’t had in a while but still hold up.Īs for “criteria”, in my opinion a fall wine can be: There’s nothing I want more than to cozy up with a glass of something seasonal and delicious without worrying a mosquito might dive bomb into it.Īnyway, I decided to start this series focusing on the best wine for the season because it honestly changes for me every single year (aside from a few staples). ![]() The swampiness was unending and every time I spent more than 5 minutes outside, I looked like I just emerged from a sauna. If you live in the south like me, you’re more than excited for the fall weather to come around. I wanted to share my favorite wines for fall this year with bottle recommendations under $20, because nothing keeps you warm and cozy during the spooky season like a good glass of vino! ![]()
