Four August Foods Perfectly Paired with LaBelle Wines

Summer is at its peak, and with it comes some of the flavors we look forward to enjoying all year long – sweet corn fresh from your local farm stand, chilled seafood by the Atlantic coast, and nostalgic New England dishes that transport us right back to childhood!

This month, we’ve paired some of our favorite August flavors with LaBelle wines that not only complement, but also elevate your dining experience. Here are four delicious food and LaBelle wine pairings we encourage you to try out this August:

PAIRING #1: OYSTERS & LaBelle Shimmer Wine

Briny, delicate oysters are a summertime classic in New England, and they deserve a wine that complements but doesn’t overpower those natural flavors. LaBelle Winery’s Shimmer sparkling wine is the perfect match! Its crisp bubbles and bright citrus notes cut through the richness of the oysters, creating a refreshing balance of flavors. This pairing is light, elegant, and perfect for a warm evening on the patio!

PAIRING #2: SWEET CORN & LaBelle RIESLING WINE

Few things say summer quite like fresh, sweet corn – especially from your local farm stand! Whether it’s grilled, buttered, or baked into a creamy chowder, corn’s natural sweetness pairs beautifully with LaBelle Riesling wine. Our Riesling’s light acidity and hints of stone fruit highlight the corn’s flavor without overpowering it. Together, they create a pairing that’s comforting and tasty – ideal for late-summer dinners with family and friends.

PAIRING #3: FLUFFERNUTTER SANDWICH® & LaBelle VERANO SANGRIA Wine

This pairing is pure nostalgic fun! The iconic New England Fluffernutter® sandwich consists of peanut butter and marshmallow Fluff® smeared on soft white bread (bonus points if you choose to use Wonder Bread®!). Fruity, refreshing, and just the right amount of sweet, LaBelle Winery’s Verano Sangria wine balances the richness of peanut butter and the airy sweetness of fluff. It’s a playful combination that will transport you straight back to childhood summer afternoons, but with a grown-up twist!

PAIRING #4: SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM & LaBelle TEMPEST WINE

There’s no better way to end a warm summer day than with soft serve ice cream, and when paired with wine, it becomes an elevated sweet treat! LaBelle Winery’s Tempest sparkling wine is a bold sparkling red wine with rich berry flavors and hints of spice. Tempest is an unexpected but refreshing companion to creamy soft serve ice cream!
