Explorers' Seasonal Value Pack: Autumn - Wines of Gold and Crimson

Great Wines Don't Have to be Expensive! The Fall Seasonal Value Pack  As the days get shorter, and nights get cooler wine choices start to lean towards rounder and fuller styles. There is still plenty of time for outdoor dining, and fire-pit gatherings, and, as we live in New England we should always expect a burst of summer to take us by surprise even in November. With this in mind we need wine selections to be versatile and pair with food menus that straddle the changing seasons. This year’s Fall Explorers’ Pack is up to the challenge and is equally divided with whites and reds. This pack contains a medium to light white blend from Portugal; a crisp, but lively Semillon from Australia; a rich, yet mineral driven white wine made primarily from the Verdicchio grape in central Italy; a red wine for just about any season from Minervois in the Langedoc region of France; a California Cabernet that, while not bombastic, will tick off all the requisite characteristics that Cab lovers love;
