Don't forget to #TreatYoSelf before tomorrow's full day of family, friends, and refrigerator Tetris! Our very own @DrinkAustinWeird (of Austin Sales) likes to cozy up with Bordeaux Superieur and simple steak and potatoes. Keep this pairing in your back pocket for when you run out of those leftovers— @ChateauCouronneau produces a decadent, Biodynamic Merlot that will undoubtedly help you usher in the holiday season… 🥩🍷🥔

OND is traditionally the hardest, busiest time of year for our industry. And yet, Serendipity is incredibly grateful to be able to share in the joy and education of wine with our buyers in what has always been a hectic season. Being able to push pause and intimately taste wine together is invaluable— and we are so thankful for everyone who came out last week to partake in some delightful @RosenthalWineMerchant offerings in San Antonio. We'll see you on the other side of OND, folks, and we can't wait to gather again!
Grateful for you 🙏

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Today's wine pairing feature is a classic: wine and cheese 🍷🧀 We love pairing uncomplicated starters with dynamic, conversation-starting wines. @ViticcioWinery has the perfect aperitif: Vermentino from the rolling hills of Tuscany. Fresh, savory and chewy, this is Viticcio's first and only white wine. They have managed to transform a typically mild grape into something unique and complex! Try it with an array of cheeses— it's incredible acidity lends itself to multiple, versatile pairings. Cheers!

Tastings are BACK, baby! Last week the #SerendipitySanAntonio team had the pleasure of pouring 100 of our wines at @vintagewinehcv 🥂 Thanks to all who came out to taste through the selections! We couldn't have asked for a better crowd. And cheers to the VWB team for the support and hospitality!
Be sure to drop in to Vintage Wine for all of your specialty retail needs (holiday wines and gifts, anyone?) and kick back at @meadow_sa for some seriously good eats!📍555 W. Bitters Rd Suite 112
Some pairings just go “mano nella mano”, such as Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and beef ragú. Just as the Montepulciano is carefully aged for months on end to create the perfect balance of acid, tannins, and sweetness, so must the ragú simmer slowly on the stovetop, deepening and melding complex flavors into one.
Serendipity’s own @blairebeasley, from the marketing department, shared this snap of one of her favorite winter pairings: Lunaria’s ‘Coste Di Moro’ Montepulciano d’Abruzzo with a homemade ragú (she recommends checking out the ragú recipe in Salt Fat Acid Heat by @ciaosamin if you need a place to start). The deep, sultry flavors of Montepulciano are a perfect match for the long-simmered richness of the sauce, while the inherent sweetness of tomato brings out the jammy fruit hidden by the savory forefront of this certified Biodynamic and Organic Italian red. Perfect for cooler temps at an affordable daily drinking price point!

This week we had the ultimate privilege of learning from the legend himself, Neal Rosenthal of @rosenthalwinemerchant. Neal's commitment to terroir has always extended to the people and to their traditions, a fact reinforced by the stories he had of working with families for over 40 years. It was truly special having him in Texas and we're so excited for his latest project: aiding the succession of estates that don't have an upcoming generation by connecting them with fellow vignerons. Thank you, Neal, for the education, the delicious wine, and incredible insights!
A very special shout out, too, to everyone who was able to join us for the ride! And hosts, @JeffreysOfAustin and @PecanSquareCafe 🥂
Listen up, Dallas! Don't miss out on this 💥Weekend Special💥 from @rm1220bistro:
Pork cutlet with Tonnato SauceI
Dug into some old journals and magazines and reminisced on my trips to Italy. One of my favorite sauces was tonnato, a mix of tuna, a touch of anchovy, caper berries, lemon, salt and pepper.
Paired with our @serendipitywines Fidora Pinot Grigio makes for a perfect meal even though I can’t be doing so in Italy. 🇮🇹✨
#SerendipityDFW @FidoraWines
Thanks to Bob Levy of Levy & McClellan for hosting an incredible tasting lunch at @qiaustinrestaurant. Our buyers had the unique opportunity of visiting with one of Napa's most iconic figures as he shared about his wines, his storied career, and his vast wealth of viticultural knowledge. Bob fancies himself a winegrower, not a winemaker, who has spent years developing best practices that have ensured the health and longevity of his land and its vines: organic practices to preserve microflora (in the past few years, they haven't had to do any fungal spraying at all), cover crops for biodiversity, and almost entirely dry-farming, to name a few.
The tangible evidence of Bob's passion for and decades of experience in grape-growing, combined with wife Martha McClellan's winemaking expertise, can be found in each glass of Levy & McClellan: rich, textured, and intricately balanced Bordeaux-inspired blends intended to display "the best expression of place through the lens of the vintage". Delicious today, and even better for the cellar, these rare wines are a collector's delight and an esteemed opportunity to experience the best of what Napa has to offer. (And, may we add, a truly mind blowing pairing with Qi's Peking Duck!)
Nothing says 'Tuscany' like pasta and Sangiovese! When finding the perfect match for rigatoni with sausage, we reached straight for the Brunello 🫱🍷🍝 And not just any Brunello, but this sumptuous and savory offering from @coldilamo_digiovannaneri.
A full expression of the terroir from which it comes, Col di Lamo's Brunello di Montalcino is the perfect wine to elevate a comforting meal. It's polished, it's decadent, and all of the characteristics of the Sangiovese grape bring out the best in meaty tomato dishes. And we love how simple, everyday meals can be transformed by a gorgeous, indulgent wine.
What's your go-to Brunello pairing?

"El Recio" from @MatsuWines brings together the power of youth and the experience of age to express serenity. In this case, the experience of age reminded us that classic pairings are there for a reason: a bold red with a bold meal? #ChefsKiss
This #SerendipityPairs feature was inspired by "Matsu" itself— which translates from Japanese as "to wait". We poured it alongside a dry-aged ⏱ steak topped with umami accents: blue cheese and sautéed mushrooms. Full-bodied and easy to drink, El Recio Tempranillo was the perfect complement to an indulgent steak dinner.
Who's hungry?
Let's taste @tenutasantome_official Prosecco Rosé with Blaire, from Marketing! These delightful bubbles are excellent on their own, but also pair beautifully with 🐟light fish courses, 🥣 risotto and 🥚quiche.
It's hard not to accidentally become a foodie when you work in wine— just take it from Nicole, one of our Austin Sales Reps (aka @nicolevino ). Her favorite way to pair our Caves de Sancerre Les Rochettes Blanc is with 🥖Jambon beurre sandwiches, 🥬 a butter lettuce salad and 🥣 French onion soup— the perfect meal for a rainy day!
To recreate Nicole's sandwiches, she recommends buying the "good" sliced ham and provolone from the deli. Add a schmear of real butter, fancy mustard, cornichons for crunch, and voila! A match made in heaven: crisp, minerally Sauvignon Blanc and a simply delicious sandwich.

Who doesn't love a deviled egg? How about when it's topped off with tiny beads of whole grain mustard and bacon? For this crowd-pleasing classic we have the perfect sparkling wine: Domaine de Montbourgeau Cremant du Jura 🍾
Produced in Eastern France in the tiny region of Jura, this Cremant is made entirely from Chardonnay. Its brightness cuts through the richness of those deviled yolks, its complexity holds up to the concentrated flavors in bacon and mustard, and the bubbles? Well, they're there to lighten up the mood 🥂

We're wrapping up our month of Napa wine features with a closer look at a Negociant producer of exception quality and value: @PicayuneCellars. The thing that truly sets Picayune Cellars apart (besides their charm), is their vision:
"More often than not I refer to myself as a wine drinker before a winemaker. As a result, I only make wines that I am excited about and eager to drink and share personally! Stylistically, I embrace the purity and intensity of California fruit yet I never drink only one glass of wines so I focus on juiciness, balance and finesse in the palate." —Claire Weinkauff, Owner and Winemaker
Claire is a French native who grew up in Auvergne, and much like the key on the Picayune label suggests, has found a way to unlock authentic, affordable California wine. The negociant model allows for incredible range in the wines she crafts— everything from classic Cab blends and Sauvignon Blanc to rarities like Albariño (although that stunner hails from the Russian River Valley). At the end of the day, who doesn't want to drink wine by an actual winemaker who can't wait to enjoy it themselves?!
Don't just take our word for it. To see Claire tasting the Picayune Napa Padlock Red Blend, watch the tasting video below 🔻🔻🔻
#Calistoga #NapaValley #DrinkNapaValley #PicayuneCellars
Let's taste '18 Padlock Picayune with Claire Weinkauf! Join winemaker and owner of @PicayuneCellars (that's Claire 😉) as she guides us through their Padlock Cabernet blend from the Napa Valley.
Picayune Cellars was started in 2011 by Jennifer Roberts & Claire Weinkauf. Realizing winemaking often means breaking the bank in Sonoma & Napa, they pursued the idea that with a négociant business model they could craft wines of outstanding quality delivered at an exciting price point. This has been the promise of Picayune Wines since 2011.
