This October, Forbes invited readers to rediscover one of life’s simplest, most exquisite pleasures—time shared over wine. In their “Celebrate Come Over October” feature, journalist Katie Kelly Bell curated a list of remarkable wines from around the world that tell stories of artistry, heritage, and connection. Among them stood one of Napa Valley’s most luminous treasures: Far Niente Dolce, 2021.
A Rare Jewel from the House of Far Niente
Known as the “liquid gold” of Napa, Dolce has been enchanting palates since 1985. In the article, Forbes highlights its timeless appeal—crafted from Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc and shimmering with notes of buttery brioche, ripe mango, orange peel, ginger, and warm spice. Each sip evokes the elegance of dessert wine at its finest, an orchestration of sweetness and structure that lingers like a golden sunset.
Dolce’s beauty lies not only in its composition but in its purpose. It was born from an audacious idea—to create a late harvest wine in the heart of Napa Valley that could rival the world’s best Sauternes, yet remain distinctly Californian. The result is a wine that feels at once indulgent and refined, exuberant and eternal.
Time Together, Perfectly Paired
At the heart of Come Over October is a simple truth: the best wines are meant to be shared. Forbes celebrates Dolce as a bottle that transforms any moment into a memory. Whether paired with a slice of apple pie or a curated selection of bold cheeses, Dolce isn’t simply dessert—it’s the punctuation mark at the end of an extraordinary evening, a toast to friendship, and a reminder that joy often comes in golden hues.
A Toast to Connection
As the House of Far Niente continues to craft wines that embody grace and longevity, Dolce remains its most radiant expression of time and togetherness. Each vintage is a chapter in a story that began four decades ago—a story of patience, craftsmanship, and the belief that beauty is best when shared.
This October, as you gather around the table, pour something that captures the light. Pour Dolce.
Because every golden drop reminds us: time spent together is the sweetest vintage of all.
