As we welcome the football season, it's the perfect time to explore the distinct offerings of the Pacific Northwest and California wine regions—each with its unique terroir and exceptional wines ideal for game day. The Pacific Northwest shines with cool-climate varietals like Pinot Noir and Riesling, crafted by renowned producers such as Domaine Serene and Cayuse. These wines are a true celebration of the land, beautifully complementing your favorite tailgate dishes.

In contrast, California's Napa and Sonoma Valleys dominate with bold, fruit-forward expressions from iconic wineries like Opus One and Kosta Browne. These robust selections enhance the camaraderie of gathering with friends to cheer on your team.
