]]>If you’re looking to explore and try some new wine varieties from now until December, here are three great options that pair well with the season’s typical cuisine and the falling temperatures.
This Spanish red wine variety is the country’s most popular grape and constitutes the majority of red wines produced by famed growing regions such as La Rioja. Its medium, dry body and the tannins, cherry, and tobacco flavors that come from this wine make it a perfect choice in fall.
Cabernet Franc is often blended with other French grape varieties, but if you can find it on its own, it’s a great selection for the fall on the red wine front. It’s a moderate wine in its overall profile with great notes of plum and strawberry, without being too sweet.
Are you looking for a white wine for this fall? Look no further than Gewurztraminer, a German white wine variety with a medium body that goes great with meats like turkey and also fall pasta dishes. You’ll find notes of apricot and other stone fruits in this pleasant wine.

If there’s anything we associate with the fall season, it has to be pumpkin spice. From lattes to bread to beer, the combination of pumpkin flavor along with spices like allspice and cinnamon is omnipresent in our October lives. Kick off the month by celebrating this day on the first day of the month!
Pasta is a staple food and a base item in Italian cuisine. On October 17th, this world-favorite food is celebrated—so be sure to prepare a special lunch or dinner consisting of your favorite pasta recipe.
Do you like having oatmeal for breakfast? If so, Halloween isn’t the only holiday you can celebrate during the final month of October! Celebrate on this Thursday by having oatmeal topped with your favorite toppings before school or work.

]]>Here are three that you should keep an eye on this fall!
Pumpkin is a ubiquitous ingredient in different foods and drinks in the fall season, from pumpkin bread to pumpkin-spiced latte. Try out some unique recipes like roasted pumpkin seeds or mashed pumpkin if you can find it at your local market this fall!
Acorn squash is one of the many varieties of squash and gourds that come into season during the fall, and is one of my favorites due to how great it tastes after being roasted in the oven. Whether you prefer a sweet version with brown sugar or a savory version with parmesan cheese, you can’t go wrong here.
Butternut squash is another variety of the same family of gourds that surprisingly tastes pretty similar to pumpkin, although it’s a bit less sweet. This makes it great in soups and when baked in the oven with salty or savory ingredients like butter or cheese.
