As autumn drapes its golden hues across the vineyards, Frank Family invites you to slow down, gather close, and savor the season. We are excited to introduce our Hollywood at Home Series, a celebration of film, television, and wine that brings comfort, elegance, and seasonal delight to your home. We’re launching the series with Come Over October, a national campaign that encourages friends, family, and colleagues to “come over” during the month of October to share wine and celebrate connection. Frank Family is proud to participate in this campaign, inviting you to gather at home with our wines and make the season feel a little more magical.
Inspired by the warmth, wit, and charm of Gilmore Girls, we’ve crafted a guide that goes beyond episodes—filled with seasonal recipes, wine cocktail inspiration, character pairings, and more—so you can sip and savor as if you were right there in Stars Hollow with Lorelai and Rory, wrapped in the richness of Napa in autumn.
