It’s full-on fireplace time (or just under-blanket time if you don’t have a fireplace), and that’s prime time for a lush red.
- Luca Bosio Bel Colle Monvigliero Barolo: Barolo might be the perfect winter red — robust but subtle at the same time. Think earthy Piedmont mushrooms and long dinners, like the fun one I had with Luca himself. $57
- Lapostolle Cuvée Alexandre Carménère : For a lighter red, try this one’s black plum, cracked pepper, and Carménère’s signature green pepper note. $30
- Merryvale Cabernet Sauvignon: This is definitely a steak-night Cab. Muscle and espresso from Napa. $63
- Le Ragose Valpolicella Classico: And Valpolicella’s just a great any-night red. It gives rustic-elegant Italian countryside energy with wild cherry and dried herbs. $20
