Cozy season is officially upon us and we’ve got our favorite fall w**es stocked up for you. 🍁

We’ll also be pouring more than what we’ve got featured here at our Stick Season Tasting on Tuesday, November 3rd from 5:00-7:00! Focused on all things crisp whites and crunchy reds.

[ some ] of our favorites:

🫒Verdicchio: Crisp orchard fruit, a rich waxy texture, and a signature bitter-almond finish make Verdicchio the ultimate white w**e for harvest-season comfort.

🍏Chenin Blanc: Bruised yellow apple, a velvety and textured body, and warm hints of ginger make Chenin Blanc your perfect partner for crisp sweater weather.

🍂Gamay: Bright cranberry, a soft earthy depth, and hints of warm baking spice make Beaujolais the absolute champion of the autumn table.

🫑Cabernet Franc: Crunchy red currant, a savory touch of roasted bell pepper, and an earthy, graphite-driven finish make Cabernet Franc the ultimate red for fireside sipping

Cheers to the best season for sipping.

W**e is full of strange traditions, mysterious transformations, and happy accidents.

Chris had a chance to chat with Food Republic on common mistakes when pairing food and w**e! 🍷

🥂A few takes aways for you:

1. The food doesn’t have to be fancy and the w**e doesn’t have to be expensive to make a great pairing

2. Don’t let traditional w**e pairing principles weigh you down, use them as a springboard rather than an endpoint

3. W**e and cheese is a great pairing BUT there is a lot to consider when pairing such as type of milk, rind and even the diet of the animal

4. Temperature is very important! Most people are either serving whites too cold and reds too warm

Check out the article in the link in our bio! 🍷

Georgia: 8,000 Years of W**e🍷

Join us at Walter’s on September 29 from 5–7pm for a tasting dedicated to the w**es of Georgia — one of the world’s oldest and most fascinating w**e cultures.

Georgia has been making w**e for more than 8,000 years, tucked into the Caucasus between the Black and Caspian Seas. With dramatic landscapes, changing elevations, and an incredible collection of native grapes, Georgian w**e offers styles you won’t find just anywhere.

One of the country’s most iconic traditions is qvevri— massive clay vessels buried in the earth, where w**es ferment and macerate on their skins for weeks or even months. The result? Deeply textured w**es with wonderfully wild flavors ranging from cumin and curry powder to marmalade and honeysuckle.

And Georgian w**e culture doesn’t stop at the bottle. Meals can last for hours, overflowing with food, w**e, toasts, and tradition. You might even encounter a khantsi— an ornamental drinking horn filled with w**e. The recipient makes a toast, declare “Gaumarjos! (essentially, “to victory!”), and drinks the whole thing.

Sounds fun, eh? We think so. 🇬🇪🍷

📅 September 29 | 5–7pm
💰 $15/person
📍 Walter’s W**e Shop

Come taste a little piece of 8,000 years of Georgian w**e history.
