Wines of the Month

After a summer of record-breaking heat in Japan, it’s time to look ahead to an autumn of cooler temperatures, seasonal produce and the chance to (comfortably) enjoy an alfresco glass.

To help Members satisfy their shokuyoku no aki, or autumn appetites, Masumi Kawamoto of the Wine & Beverage Committee has a selection of Cellar wine recommendations perfect for pairing with fall flavors.

And if you purchase at least three bottles of any combination of her recommended trio, you’ll receive a 10 percent discount.

The wines are also available through the Club’s online Wine Shop.

• 2022 Nifo Sarrapochiello Falanghina del Sannio Taburno DOC, Italy
  “This bright yellow, organic wine offers peach, pineapple and spice aromas and a fresh palate of minerals and fine acidity. Enjoy with seafood, autumn veggies or mild cheese.”
  ¥2,300
  

• 2019 Lirica Primitivo di Manduria DOC, Italy
  “Manduria in Puglia is considered the birthplace of the Primitivo grape, known as Zinfandel in the United States. This example is textured and fresh, with notes of juicy fruits and sweet spice. Great value.”
  ¥2,500

• 2019 Bieler Family Born to Run Cabernet Sauvignon, California
  “A wine that brings together the best of two states: soft, jammy Cab fruit from California and dark, structured Cab flavors from Washington’s Columbia Valley. Highly drinkable.”
