Thanksgiving: A Toast to Sharing, Gratitude and Celebration

Thanksgiving: A Toast to Sharing, Gratitude and Celebration

by Spanish Soul Wines in News

There are many things that make Thanksgiving special: the food, recipes passed down through generations, traditions, and above all, the people gathered around the table.

Every year, families and friends come together to celebrate Thanksgiving, often traveling long distances to share a meal and spend time together.

For one day, the table becomes the center of everything.

And perhaps that is why Thanksgiving has such a natural connection with wine.

More Than a Meal

Thanksgiving is not just about what is on the plate. It is, above all, a celebration of being together.

The holiday is centered around gratitude, giving us a chance to pause and appreciate the people, experiences, and small moments that make life special.

It is a day to reconnect, catch up, tell stories, and create new memories around a shared table.

The food may be the reason everyone sits down, but the people are what make everyone want to stay.

And that is where wine finds its place.

A bottle opened at the table is something to share, pass around, and enjoy while conversations flow and the meal unfolds.


A Table Made for Sharing

Thanksgiving dinner is famous for its abundance: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, vegetables, gravy, and, of course, pie all filling a table that seems to grow every year.

With so many different flavors, Thanksgiving also invites you to enjoy different styles of wine.

A fresh, fruity wine can bring brightness to richer dishes, sparkling wine can refresh the palate between bites, and a sweet wine can pair beautifully with dessert.

But there is no single perfect wine for Thanksgiving.

Often, the best one is simply the bottle that makes you want to pour another glass, try another dish, and keep the conversation going.


Wine as Part of the Celebration

There is something especially fitting about opening a bottle for Thanksgiving.

Wine has a way of marking an occasion, reminding us that this is not just another dinner, but a moment worth celebrating.

A bottle can become part of the memories of the day: the wine someone brought to the table, the toast before dinner, or the glass that is still in your hand long after dessert.

The meal can last for hours, dessert can lead to coffee, and coffee can lead to conversations that carry into the afternoon.

There is no need to rush.

The Spanish Way of Staying at the Table

For Spanish Soul Wines, there is something especially familiar about this part of Thanksgiving.

In Spain, meals often continue after the plates have been cleared thanks to sobremesa, that unhurried time when everyone stays around the table enjoying conversation and each other's company.

Thanksgiving has its own traditions, but the feeling is remarkably similar.

The idea that the meal is only part of the celebration is something that crosses cultures.

What matters is making time for the people around us, sharing what we have, and enjoying the simple pleasure of being together.

And a bottle of wine can naturally help create that atmosphere.


What Are You Thankful For?

At the heart of Thanksgiving is a simple idea: gratitude.

Thanksgiving gives us a reason to slow down, sit together, and appreciate the things we might otherwise take for granted.

It might be family, friendship, a new beginning, a shared memory, or simply having everyone around the same table again.

And perhaps the best way to celebrate all those things is not with something extraordinary, but with something we can share.

Good food. Good wine. Good conversation. And a table with room for one more.

Halloween Wine Pairing: Moscato Meets Your Candy

Halloween Wine Pairing: Moscato Meets Your Candy

Halloween is the one night of the year when candy gets to be the main course. And if there’s one wine that can keep up with all that sweetness, it’s Moscato. Sweet, fruity, lightly sparkling and easy to drink, Moscato is a natural match for Halloween’s colorful candy selection. Its freshness and gentle bubbles help balance the sweetness of each bite, while its lower alcohol content makes it an easy-going choice for a night that’s all about having fun. So, instead of choosing between your favorite candy and your favorite glass of wine, why not have both? Why Moscato loves Halloween candy Pairing wine with candy might sound unusual, but Moscato makes perfect sense. Its natural sweetness works alongside sugary treats instead of fighting against them. Its fruity character echoes the flavors you find in gummies, caramel and chocolate, while the delicate bubbles in sparkling styles refresh the palate and keep each bite from feeling too heavy. And then there’s the alcohol. Moscato is generally lower in alcohol than many traditional wines, making it a lighter option for a Halloween party where the evening might go on for hours. The result? A wine that feels festive, refreshing and perfectly at home next to a bowl of candy. Here are five Spanish Moscatos from our collection to pair with some of Halloween’s most iconic treats. Amatista Moscato White + Candy Corn & Caramels Candy corn, caramel candies, toffee… Halloween has no shortage of buttery, sugary treats. Enter Amatista Moscato White. Fresh and floral, with its fruity sweetness and delicate character, it makes an especially good match for caramel-based candies. The wine’s freshness brings some lift to the rich sweetness of the candy, while its floral and fruity notes keep the pairing bright rather than heavy. Think of it as the elegant answer to a bowl full of candy corn. Amatista Moscato Rosé + Fruity Gummies & Sour Candy For colorful gummies, chewy fruit candies and those wonderfully sour Halloween sweets, reach for Amatista Moscato Rosé. Its red-fruit character makes it a natural companion for berry and fruit-flavored candy. The combination is playful and juicy, with the wine’s sweetness softening the sharpness of sour candies while complementing their fruity flavors. It’s also the kind of pairing that looks as good as it tastes: pink wine, colorful candy and a Halloween table full of bright, fun details. Reymos + Peanut Butter Cups Chocolate and peanut butter are a Halloween classic. Add bubbles, and you have a surprisingly good pairing. Reymos, the sparkling Moscato in the lineup, brings a lively touch to rich peanut butter cups. Its sweetness complements the chocolate, while its bubbles provide a refreshing contrast to the creamy, dense peanut butter filling. The result is indulgent without feeling too heavy — exactly what you want when reaching for your fifth piece of candy. Monikka Red Love + Chocolate For something darker, turn to Monikka Red Love. This red Moscato brings deeper fruit flavors and a richer color to the Halloween table, making it a particularly fitting partner for chocolate. Its red-fruit character adds another layer to the pairing, while the wine’s sweetness works beautifully with milk or dark chocolate. And, of course, there’s the visual appeal: a deep red Moscato at a Halloween party is almost too perfect. If Halloween had its own wine style, this might be it. Monikka Pink + Marshmallows & Cotton Candy Some Halloween treats are less about intensity and more about pure fun. Marshmallows, cotton candy and all those fluffy, cloud-like sweets call for something equally playful. Monikka Pink is the match. Its sweet, fruity profile works naturally with soft, sugary treats, while its pink color brings an extra pop to the Halloween table. Pair it with marshmallows, cotton candy or other light, airy sweets for a combination that feels almost like a grown-up version of a candy store. Sweet, pink and a little bit whimsical — Halloween doesn’t always have to be dark. A few tips for hosting a Moscato Halloween party If you’re planning to make candy and Moscato the stars of the night, a few simple details can make all the difference. Serve it well chilled. Moscato is at its best when fresh and cold, especially alongside sugary treats. Keep the pours easy. As a general party guideline, plan around one glass per guest per hour, adjusting for your guests and the length of the celebration. Make a Moscato punch. For a fun Halloween centerpiece, combine Moscato with fresh or frozen fruit and serve it in a large punch bowl. Berries, citrus slices or peaches can all add color and flavor. For an extra Halloween touch, use seasonal fruit or spooky-shaped ice cubes. And most importantly: don’t overthink the pairings. Halloween is about having fun, trying things and enjoying your favorite treats. This year, let the candy bowl take center stage — and keep a chilled bottle of Moscato close by. Because when Halloween is this sweet, your wine should be too. Five Moscatos, one pack!Halloween Moscato Pack 35% OFF

Spain grape harvest: where each of our wines comes from

Spain grape harvest: where each of our wines comes from

Harvest is not one single date in Spain. It is a season that moves across the map, region by region. It starts in the warm coastal plains and finishes weeks later in the mountains. Each of our wineries picks at its own moment, for its own reasons. Reymos, our sparkling Moscatel de Alejandría, comes from Cheste, in Valencia, where the vineyards sit at around 218 metres and the nearby sea keeps summers from becoming too extreme. Unsi Blanco and Unsi Tinto come from century-old Garnacha vines on the steep slopes of San Martín de Unx, in Navarra, where Atlantic influence and constant wind slow everything down. Venta del Puerto #12 and #18, along with our newest arrivals, La Cova Negra Red and White, share one valley in inland Valencia, between the Mediterranean and the Meseta. What determines when a grape leaves the vine? Altitude, sea breeze, wind, and sun, in different measures for every region. Here is how each place shapes the wine in your glass. Cheste: the sea sets the pace Cheste is not on the coast, but the Mediterranean is close enough to be felt all season. The sea softens the peaks of summer heat. Ripening slows down just enough to protect what matters most in an aromatic grape: its perfume. The cooperative was founded here in 1918, one of the oldest in Spain, on land that sits at an average of 218 metres above sea level. Microclimate, soils, and closeness to the sea make this the ideal home for Moscatel de Alejandría. That is where Reymos is born. Sunshine and moderated temperatures preserve the aromatic character and the freshness that a vibrant sparkling wine depends on. Moscatel is also among the first grapes picked in the region. When much of Spain is still waiting, the harvest here has already started. San Martín de Unx: the wind holds it back Far to the north, in Navarra's Lower Mountain region, the growing season runs on a different clock. The vineyards sit high on steep slopes, open to Atlantic influence and to winds strong enough to keep the vines aerated from spring to harvest. Wind keeps humidity down and disease pressure low. Here, old vines add another dimension. On this rugged terrain, century-old Garnacha vineyards were once abandoned: too steep, too hard to reach, too low yielding to be worth farming. Today those vines are being brought back to life. Deep roots and small crops give grapes with concentration and complexity, while the cool nights preserve freshness. This is the landscape behind Unsi Blanco, awarded 92 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, and Unsi Tinto, awarded 91 points by James Suckling. These are among the last of our grapes to come in. The vine here does not race toward ripeness. Altitude, old vines, and cold wind create a longer path from grape to glass. Les Terres dels Alforins: sun at 500 metres Back south, at the border of the provinces of Valencia, Alicante and Albacete, there is a valley of vineyards set between the Mediterranean and the Meseta. It has everything at once: abundant sunshine, refreshing sea breezes, a dry climate, cold winters, and altitude. The vineyards climb from 400 to 900 metres. La Cova Negra Red, from the 2024 harvest, and La Cova Negra White, from 2025, grow at 500 metres above sea level in La Vall dels Alforins, on the slopes of the Serra Grossa. Venta del Puerto #12 and #18 come from the same hills. What separates them is not the vineyard but the waiting: twelve months in American oak for the #12, eighteen months in French oak for the #18. Harvest timing matters everywhere, but it matters especially where the sun is generous. Pick too early and the fruit has not reached its full expression. Wait too long and freshness begins to fade. One country, three harvest calendars There is no single Spanish harvest story. There are vineyards where the distant sea softens the summer heat and the picking starts early. Others where Atlantic wind slows the vine and the grapes come in weeks later. And a valley where sunshine and altitude arrive together. All of it happens under the same broad Mediterranean influence, and none of it happens on the same day. Wine is not made only in the cellar. Its character begins much earlier, in the vineyard, through the relationship between vine, climate, and place. Explore the wines behind this harvest: Reymos, Unsi Blanco and Unsi Tinto, Venta del Puerto #12 and #18, and La Cova Negra Red and White.

Why Moscato Is the Wine of the Season (And Why She Deserves a Bottle)

Why Moscato Is the Wine of the Season (And Why She Deserves a Bottle)

For years, Moscato has carried the unfair label of being “too sweet,” as if that were a flaw. But the people who actually drink it know better. Moscato isn’t trying to impress with complexity or follow rigid rules. It is light, aromatic, refreshing, and genuinely easy to love. It fits into a lifestyle that feels more relaxed, more intuitive, and more focused on enjoying the moment. Think slow Sunday mornings, a table filled with friends, or a random Tuesday evening when you just want something that tastes like spring. With its lower alcohol and vibrant profile, Moscato invites you to pour a glass without overthinking it. This isn’t a wine that needs defending. It is a choice. A small, everyday celebration that does not ask for permission. What Makes Spanish Moscato DifferentSpanish Moscato, especially from Valencia, has a personality all its own. It is lightly fizzy, low in alcohol, and sweet without ever feeling heavy. On the nose, you will find floral aromas, white fruit, and bright citrus notes. On the palate, it is fresh, lively, and surprisingly versatile. Within this category, each wine tells a slightly different story. Amatista is crisp, joyful, and effortlessly refreshing. It is the kind of bottle you reach for without thinking twice. Amatista Rosé adds a playful twist, with red berry notes that make it even more expressive. Reymos offers a more classic and delicate style, with elegant bubbles and a refined finish. And then there is OMG, the wildcard. It is an orange wine, made from white grapes with extended skin contact, which gives it a deeper color, more structure, and a richer, more complex profile. It still carries the aromatic charm of Moscato, but with added depth and texture that make it a completely different kind of experience. The Occasions That Call for a MoscatoYes, Mother’s Day is a perfect excuse to gift a bottle of Moscato. But limiting it to special occasions misses the point. This is a wine for many more moments. A quiet night in, a laid back brunch with friends, a light midweek dinner, or even a solo glass when you need to unwind. It is also the kind of gift that feels intentional. It says you actually thought about what she would enjoy. Something easy, uplifting, and a little indulgent in the best way. Moscato may not be pretentious, but it is thoughtful. And that is exactly why it resonates. The She Deserves Moscato BundleIf you are wondering where to start, this is it. The She Deserves Moscato Bundle brings together six bottles designed to showcase everything this style can be. Featuring Amatista, Amatista Pink, Reymos, and OMG, it offers a range from light and refreshing to deeper and more expressive. With 16% off and priced at $107.99, it is an easy way to explore, compare, and discover your favorite without committing to just one. Think of it as a curated introduction to Moscato, one that lets each bottle speak for itself. Explore the She Deserves Moscato Bundle, or start with a single bottle and find your favorite. Either way, you deserve it.
