Wine Focus October 2024: Fall Flavors

[David M. Bueker]

A little bit of a wild card for October. What wines do you reach for when the weather (hopefully) turns cooler? We’re having some cool evenings here in the Northeast U.S., and that has me thinking about Mourvèdre, Cabernet, and Syrah.

What about you? And what are you eating to go with it?

I’m not going to post a link, but I did check, and somebody DOES make pumpkin spice wine. (But I think your ideas are better.)

[David M. Bueker]

Yeah, I saw that. Threw up in my mouth a little bit.

FWIW, I got a jump start on October with black bean tacos and Desire Lines Mourvèdre.

Patchen, I don’t think any of us are going to be able to un-see that.

You’re welcome!

I love autumn; it's my favorite season to cook for. I turn to braised foods and reach for medium bodied reds like pinot noir, sangiovese, nero mascalese and grenache-based blends.

[David M. Bueker]

Fall is my favorite season for everything!!!

Nero Mascalese..could not agree more.

I would think that Gamay should feature in this months Focus. Malivoire in Ontario is a great Gamay producer, some need 24 hrs to really open up.
