The October BRIX Six—Sweater Weather Wines

As the crisp air rolls in and the temperatures drop, it’s time to switch to sweater weather wines. Pop open a South African white blend with your favorite roast chicken or uncork a crisp Gavi from Piedmont with the first Nantucket Bay scallops of the season.

Our quartet of fall-friendly reds is made for everything October brings. Pour a splash of Tannat on a chilly night with homemade beef stew or a juicy Frappato alongside a bubbling pan of lasagna. Handing out Halloween candy? Keep a Tempranillo blend nearby. And for a Sunday afternoon of football, nothing beats Bordeaux with burgers off the grill.

Six wines, plenty of reasons to pull on a sweater and settle into fall.
