Wine Down With HGTV

Ask Dave and Jenny Marrs, hosts of Fixer to Fabulous, to share details of a memorable renovation project, and they’ll no doubt tell you about the time they created a kitchen island with a lift-up top that led to stairs and a secret wine cellar below. For wine moments like these — or any time you’re enjoying your favorite HGTV shows — why not raise a glass and toast some remarkable renovations? Ahead, we pair wines with your favorite shows so all you have to do is grab a glass (and some friends) and celebrate. Cheers!

Celebrity IOU

Wine pairing: Rosé

More than a few guest stars on Drew and Jonathan Scott's Celebrity IOU have dabbled in wine making. Actor Brad Pitt — who renovated his long-time makeup artist’s garage during his episode — is part owner of a vineyard in France. Actress Drew Barrymore — who also chose her makeup artist as the recipient of a home makeover — produces her own wine label. Both actors make popular rosés, a light-tasting wine that presents a range of sweet notes — and the perfect pairing for when you’re watching all the heartfelt stories unfold on this show.

Ones to try: Heartbeat Hot Rosé, Santa Margherita Sparkling Rosé, Barrymore Rosé of Pinot Noir, Frederic Berne Beaujolais Lantignie Granit Rosé, By.OTT Rosé , Whispering Angel Rosé

Windy City Rehab

Wine pairing: Muscat Blanc

When Alison Victoria of Windy City Rehab decided to create her own signature wine, she visited a vineyard in Greece to learn more about the wine-making process firsthand. To celebrate Alison’s own Greek heritage, while watching her show reach for a glass of sweet and fruity muscat blanc, a dessert wine that’s believed to have originated in Greece before making its way to France and then Italy in the 13th century.

Ones to try: Acquesi Asti DOCG, Ricossa Moscato d’Asti DOCG, Ceretto I Vignaioli de S. Stefano Moscato d’Asti DOCG

Married to Real Estate

Wine pairing: Sangria

Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson, hosts of Married to Real Estate, are not only famous for using their real estate expertise to make shrewd purchases and smart renovations for their clients, they’re also known for hosting live Facebook chats where Egypt has told fans to, “Grab a glass of wine!” and asks, “Who’s bringing the sangria?” Mix your favorite type of wine with traditional sangria ingredients — such as chopped apples, pears and peaches. Then sit back and watch this Atlanta-based couple create forever homes for their clients.

Ones to try: Carlos Serres Crianza, Tarima Volver Organic, Gran Passione Rosso, Barefoot Fruitscato Peach Sweet Wine

Home Town

Wine pairing: Pinot Noir

Erin and Ben Napier have been advocates of Laurel, Mississippi, for years, so it's no surprise they helped launch Wine Down Downtown back in 2019. During the monthly event, the residents of Laurel stroll through the streets and sample various wines at participating merchants. Feel like part of the Napiers' close-knit community with a glass of pinot noir. The earthy, floral drink is reminiscent of Erin's wallpaper picks — not to mention the perfect tangy partner to settle down with and watch as the couple brings new life to Home Town properties.

Ones to try: Heru Pinot Noir, Sea Sun California Pinot Noir, EnRoute Les Pommiers Pinot Noir, Sonoma-Cutrer Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, Josh Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon

Love It or List It

Wine pairing: Cabernet Sauvignon

Fact: Hilary Farr and David Visentin love to squabble on Love It or List It. Fact: A glass of rich-flavored cabernet sauvignon will certainly take the edge off while you anxiously wait to see if the featured homeowners sell or stay in their homes. (Admit it — you can't help but enjoy seeing this duo spar!)

Ones to try: Enclave Cabernet Sauvignon, JUSTIN 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon, Eleven Eleven XI Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

No Demo Reno

Wine pairing: Viognier

Jennifer Todryk of No Demo Reno knows about wine: Her book, W(h)ine: 50 Perfect Wines to Pair With Your Child’s Rotten Behavior will keep you laughing page after page. Jenn's suggestion: “If your adorable tot tried to channel their inner Picasso with a permanent marker on your sofa, then viognier may be able to reduce some of your angst as the citrus aroma of this soft wine will temporarily remove you from your infuriated state." Whether you’ve got a house filled with kids or just a pup at your feet, a cold glass of viognier makes for good company as you watch Jennifer come up with clever solutions and cost-saving strategies for her clients.

Ones to try: Francois Villard Condrieu DePoncins, La Paradou Vauc Voignier, Yalumba Y Series Viognier

Rock the Block

Wine pairing: Riesling

When it comes to HGTV's heart-palpitation-inducing competition shows like Rock the Block, you need one of three things to keep it light: a hilarious host (Ty Pennington), a cold glass of Riesling — or both. We're going with the latter. Depending on where the grapes come from, Riesling's flavor can be bone-dry or super-sweet. Pick your preference — dry to match the show's competitive spirit or sweet to complement Ty's contagious sense of humor.

Ones to try: Appassionata Riesling GG, Penner-Ash Old Vine Hyland Riesling, Dr. H. Thanisch Bernksteler Badstube Riesling Kabineet, Ceretto I Vignaioli de S. Stefano Moscato d’Asti DOCG, Relax Riesling

House Hunters and House Hunters International

Wine pairing: Chenin Blanc

From previewing cedar shake cottages along the coastline of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, to touring thatched roofed bungalows in Brittany, France, there’s no better way to get a feel for what the real estate world has to offer than by watching House Hunters and House Hunters International, where viewers get the opportunity to tour homes with potential buyers or renters. Whether you’re in the market for a new pad or have a serious case of wanderlust, a glass of dry, fruity chenin blanc along with some brie and crackers is the ultimate way to see the world.

Ones to try: Merrill Vineyard Chenin Blanc, Roches Aux Moines Savennieres, Kind of Wild Chenin Blanc, Domaine de Vaufuget Vouvray

Unsellable Houses

Wine pairing: Chardonnay

Sisters Leslie Davis and Lyndsay Lamb rely on their design and financial expertise to help unload clients’ homes on Unsellable Houses. While the duo may have grown up as mirror twins, the velvety chardonnays produced in their home state of Washington can yield a wide range of different citrus flavors. Pour yourself a glass as you cheer on these native Pacific Northwesterners as they give hope to hard-to-sell homes.

Ones to try: Willamette Valley Chardonnay, Chateau Ste. Michelle Columbia Valley Chardonnay

100 Day Dream Home

Wine pairing: Marsanne

Mika and Brian Kleinschmidt love to add unique touches to their clients’ homes on 100 Day Dream Home. During one episode, they created a special wine bar that included a backdrop made of plexiglass sprayed with mirror paint for a cool effect. Consider tackling this DIY project yourself, then stock your new bar with some dry marsanne while you watch this Florida-based couple build and design houses in record time for their clients.

Ones to try: Domaine Jean-Claude Marsanne Saint-Joseph Rouge, Jean Luis Chave Hermitage Blanc

The Nate and Jeremiah Home Project

Wine pairing: Pinot Grigio

When homeowners need help letting go of home furnishings they no longer need, Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent come into play on The Nate and Jeremiah Home Project. Sip a cold glass of pinot grigio while watching the designer-dads renovate properties for the next stage of their clients' lives. The crisp and authentic taste of pinot pairs well with the genuine and warm vibe of the couple and their show. When the night's over, store your extra bottles in Nate’s handy organizer.

Ones to try: Attems Pinot Grigio Friuli DOC 2022, Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio, Cavit Pinot Grigio

Christina on the Coast

Wine pairing: Zinfandel

Living on the coast is a dream come true for most people — especially if you’ve got talented California-based Christina Hall of Christina on the Coast making over your home. Pay homage to her state while watching her show by reaching for a glass of fruity zinfandel. As one of the most planted grapes in California, it comes in both red and sweet rosé versions — and it's crisp and clean (just like Christina's minimial Cali-cool designs).

Ones to try: Dry Creek Vineyard Zinfandel Old Vine, Klinker Brick Old Vine Zinfandel, Broc Cellars White Zinfandel, Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi White Zinfandel, Saldo Zinfandel Red Wine

Lil Jon Wants to Do What?

Wine pairing: Champagne

Musician and producer Lil Jon, co-host of Lil Jon Wants to Do What?, shares a drink with his clients before their home reno project begins. Lil Jon is also known for showering his fans with champagne at concerts, so it seems appropriate to raise a glass of bubbly as you watch him and interior designer Anitra Mecadon pull off some memorable and one-of-a-kind makeovers.

Ones to try: Haas Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Chouilly, De Saint-Gall Blanc De Blanes Grand Cru Brut Champagne, Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label Champagne

Good Bones

Wine pairing: Shiraz

When Mina Starsiak Hawk of Good Bones opened Two Chicks District Co., an Indianapolis-based home store and wine bar, she wanted to create a neighborhood spot where people could buy furniture and hang out and enjoy good food and drink. Toast Mina and her mom Karen Laine from the comfort of your own home with a rich, juicy glass of red shiraz — a wine as bold as the hosts.

Ones to try: Pangea Syrah, Penfolds Shiraz Kalimna Bin 28, Charles Cimicky Shiraz Trumps, Yellow Tail Shiraz

Fix My Flip

Wine pairing: Merlot

What better wine to sip while watching Fix My Flip than wine named after the host? Unrelated to Page herself — but very related to Page's name — the founders of Textbook Vineyards named a favorite merlot-based blend Page-Turner. Toast their serendipity with a glass of dry and fruity merlot while Page and her partner Mitch Glew help California-based homeowners deal with their challenging renovations. (FYI: Page's name wasn't a coincidence. Her mom was an aspiring author.)

Ones to try: TEXTBOOK Page-Turner Red Blend, Ettore Merlot Zero, Mt. Brave Merlot, Grey Single Block Merlot, Vintner’s Reserve Sonoma County Merlot
