We say it a lot, but we can\u2019t help it because of how true it is. Fall is heaven on earth\u2014the foliage, the smells, the crisp breeze, the comforting food. There\u2019s something for everyone to fall in love with when autumn rolls around; wine<\/a> is one of them. Put down the cider (at least for a little while) and pick up a bottle of wine<\/a> that matches the season. Here are some of our favorite autumn wines to fall in love with while the season is in full peak.<\/p>\n

Tempranillo<\/h2>\n

This Spanish wine is just what you need to warm up your taste buds when the fall chill sets in. Think about the aesthetically pleasing pumpkin spice flavoring, but in your wine glass instead. These reds have aromas that range from earthy tobacco and leather to clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg. If you want more spice, grab a bottle labeled \u201cReserva\u201d to quench even more of your fall taste bud needs.<\/p>\n

S\u00e9millon<\/h2>\n

It may seem like fall is fully red wine\u2019s season, but there\u2019s way more to it than that. It\u2019s also the perfect time to fall into some full-bodied white wines, like S\u00e9millon. This French-born grape is often blended with Sauvignon Blanc to excite the lush wine with a perfect zippiness. Pair it with those perfect green fall veggies to get the most out of the flavors\u2014you may even get a hint of brussels sprouts in your wine, so might as well pair that with something similar.<\/p>\n

Barbera<\/h2>\n

Similar to Nebbiolo but not as well known, Barbera is an excellent choice for an autumn wine. In fact, even though it\u2019s not as popular in the states, it\u2019s actually considered Northern Italy\u2019s \u201cwine of the people,\u201d as you can almost always find it near the dining table. What people love about it\u2014especially for the fall\u2014is that it can taste both rich and <\/em>light-bodied, giving the fruit flavors of a heavy-bodied wine<\/a> but the mouthfeel and easy drinking of a light-bodied red (all thanks to acidity). If you\u2019re looking for a treat on a cool fall night, this is the one.<\/p>\n

Grenache<\/h2>\n

Whether you go for a Grenache Ros\u00e9 or the French Grenache, you\u2019re sure to find something in this autumn wine to fall in love with. When it comes to fall-friendly wines, this wine is arguably one of the friendliest\u2014think raspberry, clove, dried strawberries, and herbs, coupled with a sometimes higher ABV. What else could you want out of a wine in the cold? Pair it with your stew or just as a sipper while you\u2019re under the blankets and in front of the fire.<\/p>\n

Chenin Blanc<\/h2>\n

We had to put another white wine on the list, and Chenin Blanc is an autumn wine you\u2019ll be glad we didn\u2019t forget. Now, don\u2019t get confused with the oak-aged styles (the ones for autumn) versus the dry summer whites and sparkling wines. Chenin Blanc wines aged in oak are more similar to Chardonnay, meaning that you\u2019ve found yourself a new wine to drink on Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n
