Spring means longer days, more time outside, and a fun excuse to refresh what’s in your glass. Whether you're putting together a brunch spread, firing up the grill for the first time, or just sitting on the porch with a good snack board, the wines you reach for should match the energy of the season. Here's what our Wine Director, Alex, is pouring for spring.
Lot 166 Sauvignon Blanc with Spring Salads and Grilled Veggies
If there's one wine that was made for spring, it's our California Sauvignon Blanc. Alex loves pairing Lot 166 with a simple green salad, a platter of grilled vegetables, or anything that leans into bright, lemony flavors. The wine's crisp acidity and fresh herbaceous notes mirror the lightness of the season, making it an easy, crowd-pleasing pour. Think of it as the wine equivalent of opening all the windows and letting in some fresh air.
Lot 196 Sancerre Rosé with Salmon, Cheese Boards, and Spring Brunch Spreads
Rosé is always the right call, and when you're hosting a spring brunch, Lot 196 Sancerre Rosé is the one to reach for. This is a wine that was made for a beautiful table. It's elegant and mineral-driven, with just enough brightness to complement a spread of smoked salmon, a generous cheese board, and the kinds of fresh seasonal sides that make brunch feel like an actual event. And if rosé is your thing, we have plenty more where that came from. Check out our full rosé lineup and keep the good pours flowing.
Lot 217 Chablis with Seafood, Pasta, and Patio Snacks
For spring seafood and lighter pasta dishes, Alex reaches for Lot 217 Chablis. This French Chardonnay has a distinctive flinty, steely character that pairs especially well with shellfish, white fish, and creamy pasta sauces without overwhelming them. It's also the kind of wine you can open on a sunny afternoon with a snack board and feel like you're doing something right. Clean, classic, and endlessly versatile.
Lot 66 Riesling with Takeout, Soft Cheeses, and Spicy Food
Lot 66 Riesling might be the most underrated spring pairing on this list. Alex swears by it alongside spicy Thai takeout, soft and creamy cheeses, or anything with a little heat. The wine's natural sweetness and bright acidity work together to lift and complement bold flavors, making each bite taste even better than the last. Naturally versatile and endlessly food friendly, this is the bottle worth keeping stocked all season long.
Lot 188 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo with Pizza, Pasta, and Burgers on the Grill
Once the grill comes out, Alex says it's time for Lot 188 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. This Italian red is hearty enough for burgers and grilled meats but still smooth and food-friendly enough to go with a pizza night or a big bowl of pasta. It has rich fruit flavors and just enough earthy depth to feel like a proper red wine without being overly heavy for the season. It's the kind of bottle you open with friends, pour generously, and finish by the end of the night.
