At the table

The table is our favorite room.

Food, friends, family — and a bottle between them.

Montpellier has always believed that wine is at its best alongside a prepared meal and the people you love. Here are our seasonal suggestions for gathering well — always with moderation as the quiet guest of honor.

Through the year

Seasonal menus & pairings

Spring

The menu

Asparagus and goat cheese tart, new potatoes, the first herbs from the garden.

The wine

Chardonnay, well chilled — bright against green, tender flavors.

Summer

The menu

Grilled salmon, tomatoes still warm from the sun, bread torn by hand.

The wine

Pinot Noir, slightly chilled — light enough for long evenings outdoors.

Autumn

The menu

Mushroom risotto, roast squash, a table that moves indoors again.

The wine

Pinot Noir — earthy notes meeting earthy dishes, old friends reunited.

Winter

The menu

Braised short ribs, roasted root vegetables, candles lit early.

The wine

Cabernet Sauvignon — generous and warming beside slow-cooked suppers.

In moderation, with pleasure.

A glass or two, shared slowly with food and conversation, is the Montpellier way. We ask all of our friends to enjoy our wines responsibly — and to make sure every guest gets home safely.
