Looking for a medium-bodied, red wine that is fruity, yet earthy? Chambourcin is a great gateway to dry red wines and a perfect staple for this fall.

Chambourcin is a grape variety that grows exceptionally well in the state of Missouri, making it one of Autumn's best assets. The grape produces a rich, medium-bodied red wine that is perfect for the cooler months. When the leaves start to change and the air becomes crisp, a trip to Missouri's wine country is a must-do activity.

If you're a wine lover, then you will definitely want to give this wine a try! This red French-American hybrid grape is a treasure in the world of wine, thanks to its rich color and depth. Not only is it known for its beautiful color, but it's also celebrated during the month of November.

When you smell this wine, you'll get hints of cherry and light oak, while on the palate, it's earthy with strong notes of dark cherry. This versatile wine pairs well with a variety of dishes, including pork loin, burgers, short ribs, red sauce, mushrooms, applesauce, strawberries, figs, brie, camembert, walnuts, cobbler and chocolate cake.

So, go ahead and pour yourself a glass of Chambourcin this month and enjoy the rich flavors and aromas!
