There are wines that command a specific meal, a fancy meal or just a meal. Others are saved for special occasions. And then there’s this delicious category of wines that we share with friends, just because. The no-occasion wines uncorked while making a batch of tomato sauce, watching a movie, or enjoying a last terrace with blankets.

So without further ado, here are 10 wines to share, just because. 

A white with very lively acidity and a true Sauvignon profile with notes of citrus and freshly cut grass. Very dry, very fresh.

A lovely rosé that goes down easy with friends. A mix of Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris with aromas of cantaloupe and white flowers. Terribly effective. 

A perfectly mineral Chenin wine that begs for a little oyster fiesta. With a cute label, a fun play on words and organic too. Always have on hand. 

A Pinot Noir pleasure wine that’s totally easy-drinking and fresh. For an aperitif or to accompany a roast chicken or vegetable gratin. In short, goes with everything. 

A blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Roussanne and Chenin made by Les Tètes, four friends who love organic and good wine. It’s pure, light and easy drinking, with notes of clementine, pear and white flowers; your friends will love it. 

A very well-made Sauvignon maceration wine (aka orange) with its frank notes of citrus, orange peel and candied fruit. Give them something to talk about at the aperitif. 

A thirst-quenching red 100% Cabernet Franc, organic, natural and worked biodynamically to boot. Mineral and small red fruit notes. A bit like straight, broken-in jeans; incredibly versatile. 

Another beautiful orange wine for fans of the genre, made organically by the very famous M. Bertrand. The mouth is fresh, the texture is mellow and offers a slight bitter note. How about a cheese platter with that? 

A name that says a lot and sums up the concept well: an easy-drinking red perfect for an evening with friends.  Just Syrah in this fresh and fruity cuvée with a spicy touch. 

A light, dry red to serve chilled; a real thirst-quenching wine. Grenache and Syrah give off aromas of cinnamon, cherry and raspberry. Very well described by a customer as a gem.
