There is still plenty of time for outdoor dining and fire-pit gatherings, and, as we live in New England, we should always expect a burst of summer to take us by surprise even in November. With this in mind we need wine selections to be versatile and pair with food menus that straddle the changing season. This year’s Fall Explorers’ Pack is up to the challenge and is equally divided between whites and reds. Often we explore wines that are worlds apart and that might take people out of their comfort zones. This pack is more about subtle differences and general appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pack contains three white wines: a medium-bodied VdF blanc from a stellar Chateauneuf-du-Pape producer in the Rhone; a taut and fresh Verdicchio from the Marche in Italy; and a medium-plus-bodied Pinot Gris from the Willamette Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are also three red wines: a juicy, friendly Barbera blend from Piedmont; a VdF rouge from the same Chateauneuf-du-Pape producer as the blanc; and a hearty Garnacha blend from Montsant in Spain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e While some folks have had these grapes or wines from these places before, others have not, or maybe these particular bottles are new to you. This is the point of the Explorers' Packs: to try something you haven't had before - whether it is a wine you are completely unfamiliar with or whether the wine is a from a familiar grape or place but perhaps from an unfamiliar wine-maker; these packs aim to offer something different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Explorers' Pack is discounted just shy of 15% off regular prices. No further discounts apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-component-1601499127056\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 17px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 17px; width: 27.897654826958107%;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0432\/9671\/8999\/files\/IMG_0470.jpg?v=1790121995\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 17px; width: 67.1023451730419%;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"Polaris-Header-Title_2qj8j\"\u003eBois De Boursan NV VdF Cuvée Le Petit Oursan Blanc\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e100% Clairette.
