Fall has always been
stylist Janna Lufkin’s favorite
time
of year,
and
she’s made
a tradition of hosting
an
October wine-tasting party.
There’s
nothing highbrow
about it—just
eight or
so
friends
sampling inexpensive
wines
on a table
done
up in pumpkins
and gourds.
“It’s
super casual,” Janna
says.
“It’s just
a nice way to
have
some
adult fun and
enjoy the
season.”

"‘Set pumpkins in a
bowl, on cake plates,
or just pile some
down the center of
a table, and it will
be gorgeous,” she
says. Here, a pillar
candleholder adds
height to a display on
a breadboard.
Under cover
Janna likes the fun
of a “blind tasting ”
so she covers wine
labels with paper
cheese leaves, then
IDs each bottle with
a numbered die-cut
leaf,

Waxed
twine holds every-
thing in place,
