This October, we're joining Come Over October, a national movement built around a simple idea: invite family and friends, new and old, to come together over a bottle of wine. No elaborate occasion required. Pick a night, invite someone over, and open something good.
Who Are You Inviting?
Book club. Neighbors. Your oldest friends. Someone you've been meaning to see. There doesn't need to be a reason. Having them over is the reason.
Come Over for Book Club
The book may or may not get discussed. Pour something bright and crisp, put out a few snacks, and see where the night goes. Our Chardonnay is an easy, versatile pour for a group that's there as much for the conversation as the chapter.
Come Over for a Birthday Dinner
Good plates. Candles. The people who know all the stories. Bring out a Cabernet Sauvignon and make another trip around the sun worth sitting down for. Our Napa Valley Cabernets range from easy weeknight pours to bottles worth saving for exactly this kind of night.
Come Over for Movie Night
Low lights, something salty, phones down. When you've got the time to actually taste what's in your glass, our Single Vineyard wines are worth the attention, each one shaped by the specific patch of Napa Valley it comes from.
Come Over for Last-Minute Guests
Someone's in the neighborhood and they're stopping by in twenty minutes. No time to plan, no reason not to open something good. Keep a few go-to bottles on hand so "come on over" never has to wait on a grocery run.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Come Over October?
Come Over October is a national movement developed by Karen MacNeil, author of The Wine Bible, encouraging people to invite friends and family over to share a bottle of wine, no special occasion required.
Do I need a special occasion to open a bottle of wine?
Not at all. Come Over October is built on the idea that the company is the occasion. A weeknight, a book club, a last-minute visit from a neighbor, any of it is reason enough to pour something good.
What Sterling Vineyards wine should I serve when having people over?
It depends on the night. A crisp Chardonnay suits a casual get-together, a Cabernet Sauvignon fits a dinner worth marking, and a Single Vineyard wine rewards a slower evening where there's time to really taste it.
