Fall Staff Picks

Fall is setting in, the days are getting shorter, Halloween decor is starting to appear, and lots of new wines and new vintages are showing up! At Wardman, we work hard to curate a wide selection of wines to appeal to a broad range of palates, and we really enjoy exploring the enormous variety the world of wine has to offer. However we all have those bottles that we go back to when it's just for us. This week, the staff at Wardman are sharing their favorites for the Fall. Join us Wednesday, October 2 from 4pm-7pm to taste these wines:

• Eric's Picks:
  
  
  • Champagne Alain Vincey Brut: "This is a Champagne that we have worked with in the past and are happy to have back on the shelves. We are coming into the time of year with more opportunities to begin an evening with some proper Bubbles. I look forward to sharing an old favorite with some new friends."
    
    
  • Johann Estate Pinot Noir: "Great soils, great climatic conditions, and classical winemaking methods combine in magical ways for Pinot Noir in the Willamette Valley. We've worked with this wine for 4 or 5 vintages now, and it's always been one of my favorites this time of year."
    
    
• Lyndon's Picks:
  
  
  • Clos du Moulin aux Moines "Les Combottes" Pernand-Vergelesses: "As we’re moving into the season of cooler temperatures, dinner party invitations, and nights of just wanting to cuddle up with an unctuous glass of wine, I love recommending French whites from Burgundy for their creamy textures."
    
    
  • Bodegas Alto Moncayo Veraton Garnacha: "If you prefer reds, a big, earthy Spanish Garnacha is tough to beat. Alto Moncayo is a historically excellent producer and this wine is one of their standard-bearers."
    
    
• Jaz's Picks:
  
  
  • La Suerte de Arrayán Albillo Real: "For me the Fall is soup season, and I think this wine's extra fruit body and sustaining acidity would pair beautifully with a nice creamy soup or hearty stew. "
    
    
  • Stackhouse Cabernet Sauvignon: "Cabernet tends to be a go-to for me, because there tends to be so many different layers of flavors and aromas. I've been looking forward to trying this one for a while."
