Do you know which business is, it turns out, pandemic-proof? Alcohol. According to Nielsen, liquor store sales are up 24 percent, and delivery app Drizly saw a whooping 350 percent rise in business. Drinking wine can’t cure life’s problems, but as the statistics imply, it sure as hell can distract you from them.
But what bottle to drink, exactly? Whereas summer is clearly rosé season, and winter meant for the deep reds, fall and its fluctuating temperatures causes some culinary confusion. With that in mind, we asked Christine Collado for her suggestions—because she would know.
Once the former head sommelier at Chef Table’s at Brooklyn Fare, Collado is now the general manager at Parcelle, the buzzy New York City wine shop from the team behind Charlie Bird. This month, she and owner Grant Reynolds opened Parcelle Patio, an outdoor wine bar in the West Village. Adorned with greenery and early 20th-century French furniture sourced from Hudson Valley vintage shops, Parcelle Patio offers everything from the classic grand cru Barolo to Rosie Assoulin’s new natural wine. (The food isn’t too shabby either: think hamachi tartare with sweet potato chips, crispy kale with ricotta, as well as burrata and squash with pepita seeds.) There’s a five dollar reservation fee on Resy, which is donated to The Roots Fund, an organization supporting Black and indigenous people in the wine community.
If you’re aren’t in New York, don’t fret: Parcelle also offers a monthly “Wine Drop”, where they send a box of three curated bottles nationwide.
Below, Collado’s picks for fall sipping.
Vietti, Castiglione Barolo 2016
“During the cooler months, eat a huge bowl of pasta and drink a great bottle of Barolo. These wines are classic and timeless.”
López de Heredia, 'Cubillo' Crianza Rioja 2011
“If you're looking for something that's not Cabernet but still warm and hearty, try this Rioja. López de Heredia has been consistently making some of Spain's finest wines.”
Vivanterre, 'SGU' Vin de France
“Rosie and Max Assoulin have recently gained street cred in the wine world. This naturally made orange wine is floral, delicate, and easy-drinking.”
Domaine Chapel, Beaujolais Villages 2019
“If you're wanting something besides that rosé you've been drinking all summer long, have some Beaujolais. Reds from this region are juicy, fresh, and effortlessly delicious.”
T. Boudignon, Anjou Blanc 2018
“During the autumn months, get your hands on some Chenin Blanc. It's a richer white from the Loire Valley which serves as a great alternative to Chardonnay.”
