Happy Friday friends! Can you believe Halloween is less than a week away? I love Halloween because it kicks off the holiday season and cooler weather in the south! One of the things we love doing during the holidays is hosting lots of wine nights! We usually play fun games over delicious wine and pairings. Today I’ve teamed up with J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines to share three tips on throwing a successful wine night!
Hosting the Perfect Wine Night
- Wine. Obviously the most important tip is picking out a good wine to share with friends. A great option I’d like to share with you today is J. Lohr Estates Los Osos Merlot. Its aromas of black cherry and lilac are integrated with a barrel signature of toasted hazelnut, dark chocolate, and baking spice. This wine is my current go-to wine because it pairs perfectly with all things fall.
- Snacks. I don’t know about you but I sure do love a good charcuterie board. A few staples are various cheese options, hard salami, a few fruit options and bread! You can get super creative with your board!
- Simplicity. Let the wine do all the work! Keep decor and food simple. I usually buy 1 pretty bouquet of flowers to put on our table.
From a night in and dinner for two, to holiday entertaining with pretty charcuterie boards,; the J. Lohr Estates Los Osos Merlot will add that special touch to your evening. Trying not to overspend? Well you are in luck! I found my J. Lohr Estates Los Osos Merlot for under $20! Thats an incredible deal for such a high quality wine. I hope you find these tips helpful and you feel inspired to host a wine night!
