With Lent and Easter just around the corner, it’s a wonderful time to gather with family, share seasonal meals, and enjoy a glass of wine that complements the occasion. Whether you’re preparing simple Lenten dishes or planning a festive Easter brunch or dinner, the right bottle can bring out the best in your food—and help make the moment even more memorable.
At Lisa’s Liquor Barn, we’ve handpicked a variety of wines that pair beautifully with traditional dishes served throughout the season. From light and refreshing whites to bold reds and crisp rosés, there’s something here for every table and every taste.
Wine Picks to Match the Season
