Firefly Lane and Rosé of Syrah
Based on the bestselling novel by Kristin Hannah, Firefly Lane is a celebration of female friendship and the ups and downs that make life so interesting. Its main characters, Kate and Tully, meet as teenagers and are attached at the hip as they grow up. They are there for each other through big career moves, breakups, babies, and everything in between. We can’t think of a better fit for the girls than our Rosé of Syrah. It’s distinctive for its somewhat weightier style and has expressive aromas of ripe red fruit layered into floral notes of rose petals and violets. Perfect for any occasion, it’s delicious on its own but pairs beautifully with a girl’s night and lighter fare like charcuterie or seafood.
Ted Lasso and Malvasia Bianca
Ted Lasso has captured hearts around the world with his infectious optimism and unwavering positivity. As he navigates the ups and downs of coaching a UK soccer team while knowing very little about soccer, he shows how much kindness and teamwork can accomplish. Pair this heartwarming show with the easy-going drinkability found in our Malvasia Bianca. It’s a Sterling favorite thanks to its bright, fresh aromas and inviting palate. Find a mélange of exotic spices, candied ginger, and orange blossom alongside flavors of ripe nectarines and apricots. Just like Ted Lasso, it’s impossible not to enjoy.
The Diplomat and Reserve Calistoga Cabernet Sauvignon
Keri Russel stars in this captivating global thriller The Diplomat. Thrust into an international crisis, Russel’s character Kate Wyler must navigate diplomatic crises and a tense political environment while also managing her complicated marriage to a fellow career diplomat. The sometimes-dark world of international politics needs a big, bold cabernet sauvignon to balance it out. We can definitely see Wyler pouring herself a glass of our Reserve Calistoga Cabernet Sauvignon at the end of a long day forging strategic alliances. The deep ruby hues hint at the depth of aromas and flavors in the wine. Aromas of ripe blackberries and cinnamon are followed on the palate by bold flavors of Bing cherry and black currant. Velvety tannins lift the fruit and lead to a lingering finish.
And Just Like That and Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc
Sarah Jessica Parker is back as Carrie Bradshaw in the remake of the 1990s classic. The new season of the series And Just Like That follows Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte as they navigate the complexities of life and friendship in their 50s. Of course, some things never change, and for this threesome, it’s the necessity of long lunches spent chatting and enjoying good food and wine. Light and crisp, we know our Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc would be the perfect fuel for these long ladies’ lunches. It’s crisp, balanced, and acidic with flavors of green apple, melon, and lemon. Best served chilled, it’s a great pair for seafood dishes like scallops, shrimp scampi, or roasted cod.
