A Fall-Worthy Wine and Pasta Pairing With Avaline

October 10, 2022

The ideal fall evening may look different to everyone, but, if you ask us, there’s simply nothing better than a cozy night with friends—the perfect playlist on, a glass of wine in hand, and minutes away from enjoying an indulgent homemade meal. So, in honor of the newest addition to Avaline’s covetable line of organic wines—a bold and jammy Cabernet that’s bound to please all—we’re helping ourselves to a pour and recreating this fall-worthy pasta dish from none other than Italian-trained chef, Melissa Norton. Read on for everything you need to create your own perfect evening at home., plus enjoy $40 off your first Avaline order with code JENNI40 at drinkavaline.com.

A Fall-Worthy Wine and Pasta Pairing With Avaline

The Tabletop

As two California-based brands guided by an ethos to enhance and celebrate everyday living, partnering with Avaline for a seasonal gathering felt like a perfect, fall-focused fit. We teamed up to bring you the dream fall gathering featuring classic tabletop essentials and a menu to swoon over. For the tabletop, we kept it simple and subdued, calling in neutral linens and our Pacific Soup Bowl in Ivory for a refined yet casual take on everyday dining. To keep the entire scene relaxed, we tucked napkins underneath each bowl and brought our texture with woven chargers.

The Menu

Inspired by the pairing notes of Avaline’s new Cabernet, asked Melissa Norton of Cucina Melissa for a recipe that felt equally warming and inspiring. Her Gnocchi Bolognese combines fall flavors perfectly, bringing us a dish that is simple to make and ideal to serve for all types of seasonal gatherings—and even better when enjoyed alongside a glass of wine.
