Favorite Cabs for Fall Quartet

Enjoy a crisp, bubbly pour with M de Monraisin Blanc de Blancs Sparkling Brut. Twice the size of a regular bottle, this sparkling French Magnum adds elegance to gatherings and is perfect for holiday toasts. Alluring flavor notes of exotic fruits, candied lemon zest, and pineapple are noticeable at first whiff. This light-bodied white wine has a touch of pastry on the finish, adding a bit of rich contrast to the refreshing palate. Airén grapes were nurtured in clay-limestone soil in vineyards located at higher elevations. A higher altitude imparts a fresh quality to grapes and makes them suitable for creating sparkling wine. “Blanc de Blancs” means “white of whites,” and while this wine was crafted in France, the white Airén grape is native to Spain. Uncork M de Monraisin Blanc de Blancs Sparkling Brut on its own or as an aperitif. Best served cold, it’s delicious alongside desserts, too.

Celebrate an occasion (even if it’s just a random Thursday) with this joyful, pink Cava. You may be wondering: what makes Spain’s signature sparkler so special? For starters, it’s crafted like its (far) pricier counterpart, Champagne, where the all-important second fermentation that gives the wine its bubbles happens right in the bottle. Called the traditional method – método tradicional in Spain – it’s a labor-intensive process, but the payoff for YOU is deliciously complex flavors and teeny, tiny beads of creamy mousse. And, as any Insider will tell you, it’s also a huge value. Bursting with creamy notes of sun-ripened strawberry and raspberry, Toro Loco is a great way to kick off a gathering, large or small. But, as with all traditional method sparklers, it’s incredibly food friendly and will shine with fatty fish (seared salmon or tuna steaks), eggy brunch favorites (Manchego and chorizo frittata!) or even with a bowl of strawberries and cream for dessert. Good to know: White Cavas are readily available, but the rarer rosé versions (typically made with Garnacha, like Toro Loco) are very on-trend and tend to get scooped up quickly. Prompt orders of this fizzy beauty are strongly encouraged.

Grown in the Pays d'Oc, Languedoc region is a wine that embodies elegance. Our 2021 De La Rougerie Cabernet Sauvignon is soft on the palate with supple tannins and ripe black fruit flavors. This dry red is an encore to the award-winning 2017 De La Rougerie Cabernet Sauvignon and a tribute to winemaker Benoit Calvet’s ancestor, Madame de la Rougerie, who inspired the drink with her distinguished nature and bold curiosity. In Languedoc, the climate is Mediterranean year-round with late ripeness. Mild temperatures in autumn, winter, and spring, combined with hot, dry summers, allow the vine to thrive. The Tramontane, a strong wind, provides a vacuum for the grapes to dry naturally. Clay and limestone soils in which this wine grape is grown provide roundness. This southern climate and modern but traditional winemaking techniques make the freshest and most balanced wines. The grapes are soft pressed before being fermented in steel, temperature-controlled vats–a process that preserves the wine’s subtlest flavors. This elegant Cabernet Sauvignon is a smooth, easy-drinking wine that can be sipped as an aperitif or served with fine steaks and red sauce pasta dishes containing meat.
