Thanksgiving — the wine lover's favorite holiday, when sharing our favorite bird-friendly wines with family, friends and neighbors heightens our enjoyment of this most convivial day! 
 
And what do we look for in a Thanksgiving wine? A full-bodied white that will not only complement turkey, but stand up to the cranberry sauce, stuffing and onions; Rosés (yes, rosés are a great choice on Thanksgiving) that have a bit more fruit and terroir expression than those we gulp in the Summer; Reds that are not too heavy - ripe and supple with pretty fruit that won't overwhelm the mild flavors of turkey, turnips and mashed potatoes. And of course a sparkling wine or Champagne to begin or end our feast, and dessert wines that will shine with pumpkin, apple and mince pies, walnuts and cheeses.
This year we start our selections with our favorite aperitivos, then onto pear ciders and sparkling wines. Next, whites, from food friendly Loire whites to dry and off dry Rieslings, Chardonnay and many other lesser known varietals. Our fondness for rosés with harvest and Yuletide feasts is well documented, so we'd be remiss to not offer some thirst quenching, flavorful rosés. We follow with reds, classics like Beaujolais, some like-minded, balanced reds from all around the globe, and a few full-bodied options. The list is rounded out with some dessert wines and after dinner delicacies.
 
Our Thanksgiving picks are designed to please everyone at the table, from novice to Master of Wine, and to fit every budget as well. Have fun perusing our list and please call or email with any questions or for further recommendations.
