Technically cozy-season energy, but we’ll allow it.  
Warm red wine + citrus + cinnamon + cloves = comfort in a mug.

Perfect Pour: Spiced Cabernet or Merlot

Hosting Idea: Fire pit + blankets + DIY spice bar

 March 13 – International Riesling Day

 

Celebrate one of the most food-friendly wines on earth.

Style Ideas:

• Dry Riesling with seafood 

• Off-dry with spicy food

• Sparkling Riesling for brunch

Crisp. Aromatic. Criminally underrated.

Math, but make it delicious.  
3.14 reasons to drink pie-inspired cocktails.

Boozy Pairing Ideas:

• Apple Pie Moonshine
• Key Lime Pie Martini
• Banana Cream Pie Cocktail

Because numbers are hard. Pie is easy.

🍀 March 17 – St. Patrick’s Day

 

The Super Bowl of March drinking holidays.  Green beer. Irish mules. Shamrock shots. No one remembers how it started.

Boozy Pairing Idea: Irish Mule with ginger beer and Irish whiskey

Party Tip: Add edible gold dust for “leprechaun luxury.”

 March 18 – Global Recycling Day (Wine Edition 😉 

 

Not officially wine… but hear me out.

Recycle those bottles. Upcycle corks. Refill your glass responsibly.

 

 

 

March 20 – First Day of Spring

 

Not a wine holiday, but spiritually? It is.

Time to switch from heavy reds to crisp whites and rosé.

March 24 – National Cocktail Day

 

Yes, cocktails… but wine cocktails count.

March 25 – International Waffle Day
Brunch energy only.

Waffles + bourbon maple syrup + mimosas = spring happiness

Sangria pitchers required.

Tempranillo, Garnacha, or Albariño pair beautifully.

If it can be skewered, it can be celebrated.

Boozy Pairing Ideas:
