Four September Foods Perfectly Paired with LaBelle Wines
September is one of New England’s most beloved months. It’s the season of ripe heirloom tomatoes, cozy soups and chowders, fresh apples picked at local farms, and the first taste of fall-inspired desserts!
At LaBelle Winery, we believe food and wine are best enjoyed together. We’ve curated four delicious pairings that showcase the best of September flavors alongside our award-winning wines, all of which can be enjoyed within the comfort of your home.
PAIRING #1: Heirloom Tomato Caprese Salad & LaBelle Granite State Red
Late summer heirloom tomatoes are bursting with flavor, and there’s no better way to enjoy them than in a classic Caprese salad with fresh mozzarella and basil. We recommend pairing this flavorful dish with LaBelle Winery’s Granite State Red. Granite State Red boasts bright fruit notes with a balanced and off-dry flavor profile, complementing the tomatoes’ acidity and the richness of the cheese perfectly. It’s a light, yet elegant way to toast to the last days of summer!
PAIRING #2: Seafood Chowder & LaBelle Chardonnay
As the air cools, nothing warms you quite like a creamy bowl of New England seafood chowder. LaBelle Winery’s Chardonnay brings just the right balance of crispness and richness when paired with this classic dish. Our Chardonnay offers subtle oak and buttery notes, which harmonizes with the chowder’s velvety texture and rich flavors.
PAIRING #3: Caramel Apples & LaBelle Spiced Apple Wine
Few things say “September” more than a caramel-dipped apple! We recommend pairing this fun fall treat with our Spiced Apple Wine, crafted with warm autumn spices. The sweet caramel amplifies the wine’s sweet spice notes, while the fresh apple adds a tart crunch that ties it all together. It’s a nostalgic pairing that’s perfect for seasonal gatherings!
PAIRING #4: Blueberry Pie & LaBelle Blueberry Wine
New England’s blueberry season lingers into early fall, making blueberry pie a September staple dessert. Served with a glass of our Blueberry Wine, this pairing is pure bliss. LaBelle Winery’s Blueberry wine offers deep blueberry notes with an off-dry and smooth finish, which perfectly balances out the pie’s sweet filling and buttery crust. This pairing is a true homage to one of New England’s most beloved fruits – both on your plate and in your wine glass!
