As we prepare for the grand feast, selecting the perfect wines becomes an integral part of our tradition. For those moments when the aroma of cheese wafts through the air, and laughter echoes around the room, we reach for a robust red.
A Cabernet Sauvignon, with its deep, fruity notes, complements the richness of aged cheddar and gouda, creating a symphony of flavors.
When the star of the evening, the Thanksgiving turkey, takes center stage, a versatile Pinot Noir steps into the limelight.
Its delicate balance of fruitiness and earthiness dances harmoniously with the succulent, roasted bird. With every bite, the wine accentuates the natural flavors, leaving everyone craving another forkful.

For the enthusiasts of the white meat, a Chardonnay glides smoothly over the palate, enhancing the tenderness of the turkey breast. Its buttery texture and hints of citrus add a touch of elegance, turning a simple dish into a culinary masterpiece.
Of course, Thanksgiving isn’t just about turkey and cheese. It’s about the medley of side dishes, from creamy mashed potatoes to tangy cranberry sauce.
A crisp Sauvignon Blanc, with its refreshing zing, cuts through the richness of these accompaniments, cleansing the palate and preparing it for the next delightful bite.

I suggest adhering to these three choices, although there are various variations within each category. You can explore different brands and vineyards while staying within these options. So If you want 2 Cabs, 3 Chardonnays and 1 Pinot, that’s great. Really it’s up to you and what you decide the pairings will be.
Thanksgiving Tradition
As our family tradition goes, we always ensure there’s an abundance of wine, enough for everyone to raise their glasses and share stories. There’s a certain magic in the clinking of glasses, in the shared laughter and the heartfelt conversations that flow as smoothly as the wine itself.

Starting your own Thanksgiving wine tradition is as simple as uncorking a bottle and inviting friends and family to savor the moment.
