August 28 - National Red Wine Day


Happy National Red Wine Day! On August 28, today ushers in the flavors of fall. As the grapes ripen and signal a time for warmer sips, wine drinkers know reds mean tailgating and spicy foods. 

Throughout the year, wine days afford us the opportunity to taste and learn about the differences between wines.  

Earlier this month, National Prosecco Day gave us the last bubbly rays of summer. Now we savor the best of the season with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot noir, Port, and Syrah. 
    
When is National Wine Day? 

Red wine varietals produce deep ruby reds as well as subtle ambers and browns. Their beautiful colors hint at the coming change in the season.  

With that, we can look for delicious menu changes as well. Besides, what better way to enjoy a great bottle of wine than by pairing it with excellent company and food?  

Restaurants around the country will be happy to oblige throughout the celebration. Be sure to check out the latest menus from appetizers to desserts. 

Don’t fear the red, either. Even if you prefer a sweeter wine, there’s a red for you. Also, blends offer a way to enjoy the best of both wine worlds.  

And don’t fret. Red, red wine pairs well with salad, steak, dessert and so much more. 

If you’re hesitant, attend a wine tasting. There you will learn more each time and find the wine that fits not only your palate but your cooking style, too. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Pour a glass or two of delicious red wine. Not sure what kind to try? Ask sommelier and enjoy a wine tasting with friends. 

Use #NationalRedWineDay to share your favorites.
