Pumpkin Bread & Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal
Pumpkin bread is a fall staple in my household, and this year I am planning on enjoying with a glass of Zind Humbrecht Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal. This Pinot Gris has aromatic, fruity notes of yellow apple, peach, and mango with delectable notes of honeycomb and hazelnut on the finish. While the bright fruity notes of the wine contrast with the thick pumpkin bread, the hazelnut finish of the wine will mesh beautifully with the Pumpkin Spice we know and love. I’ve never been more excited to bake!

Rosemary & Brown Sugar Pumpkin Seeds & Cabreo Il Borgo

Pumpkin is a go-to, versatile ingredient that always makes its annual comeback in the fall. For a simple and sweet autumn treat, try rosemary and brown Sugar roasted pumpkin seeds paired with Cabreo “Il Borgo” 2018. The earthy, nutty flavors of the roasted seeds complement the wines’ earthy tones. The wine’s acidity cuts through the richness and sweetness of the roasted pumpkin seeds, while its tannins provide a pleasant contrast to their texture. With a silky finish, this wine pairs perfectly throughout your meal and is meant to be enjoyed and shared with friends. Together, this wine and roasted pumpkin seeds are all you need to savor a crisp fall night in good company.
