Firefly Lane
Paired with Rosé of Syrah
Based on the bestselling novel by Kristin Hannah, Firefly Lane is a heartfelt celebration of friendship, loyalty, and life’s many chapters. Following Kate and Tully from their teenage years through adulthood, the series captures career highs, heartbreaks, and everything in between.
Sterling Vineyards Rosé of Syrah is a natural match. With a slightly weightier style, expressive ripe red fruit, and floral notes of rose petals and violets, this rosé is perfect for emotional storytelling, girls’ nights, and lighter bites like charcuterie or seafood.
Ted Lasso
Paired with Malvasia Bianca
Ted Lasso has won over audiences with warmth, humor, and unwavering optimism. As Ted navigates coaching a UK soccer team with little experience, kindness and teamwork take center stage.
Malvasia Bianca mirrors the show’s joyful spirit. Bright and aromatic, this Sterling favorite offers notes of exotic spice, candied ginger, orange blossom, and ripe stone fruit. It is easy to love and impossible not to enjoy, just like the show itself.
The Diplomat
Paired with Reserve Calistoga Cabernet Sauvignon
Starring Keri Russell, The Diplomat dives into the high stakes world of international politics, personal tension, and global crises. Dark, complex, and fast paced, the series demands a wine with equal presence.
Reserve Calistoga Cabernet Sauvignon rises to the occasion. Deep ruby in color with aromas of ripe blackberry and cinnamon, it delivers bold flavors of Bing cherry and black currant, supported by velvety tannins and a lingering finish. It is the perfect end of day pour after intense storytelling.
And Just Like That
Paired with Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc
Carrie Bradshaw returns alongside Miranda and Charlotte in And Just Like That, navigating friendship, love, and life in a new chapter. While much has changed, long lunches, meaningful conversations, and great wine remain essential.
