Experience six wines perfect for the winter months and upcoming holidays. It’s apple season, celebrate with a wine just as fresh and vivacious as this amazing fruit, the Chamisal Chardonnay from California’s Central Coast. Then, move on to five reds that will all be perfect to share next to the fireside. You will love the robust Il Cuore Barbera from Mendocino County, the luscious Truett Hurst Zinfandel from Sonoma, the ripe and rich Urraca Malbec from Argentina, the savory Peter Lehmann Red Blend from Australia, and the brawny Artezin Petite Sirah from Mendocino County. 
 
Whatever wine you choose to bring to your table this fall, it’s bound to be a hit!
