Fall Feature: Sippers for the Season

Dare we say it: the holidays are upon us. For some of you that may sound daunting, and for others, this may be music to your ears. Personally, we're more than ready for the romantically crisp weather, the bourbon-focused cocktails, the roasted meats and warm stews, and the gatherings of eating and drinking amongst family and friends. One of our favorite ways to get psyched for an upcoming seasonal change is to find a few new wines that we deem perfect fall/winter sippers and share them with you, our wonderfully astute, wine connoisseur-y customers. Not only are the wines [...]
