MEALS

On my family’s vineyard in Napa, the grape harvest always comes in with a rush.

Picking days roll into nights, leaving little time for rest. But as the rhythm of the

harvest slows, we’re able to pay more attention to sustenance. Long hours of hard

work and sandwiches wolfed down at lunchtime pave the way for intentionally

set tables and expansive meals cooked to feed a crowd. Such celebratory harvest

meals are a tradition everywhere wine is made. It’s a ritual and a rhythm worth

bringing home. This fall, set your harvest table with recipes that satisfy hunger

and nourish the soul, gathered from vineyard feasts around the world.

AFTER THE LAST GRAPES HAVE BEEN PICKED,

WINERY WORKERS GATHER TO BREAK BREAD AND

CELEBRATE THE VINEYARD’S BOUNTY.
