2021 Thanksgiving Special
#46-2021
It is always difficult to select the perfect wine for Thanksgiving, because the table has such an array of aromas and flavors, but here are a few guidelines which will help make this dinner more memorable than ever.
If you like Chardonnay, choose one which is not bone dry, but rather one with a strong fruit presence. Sauvignon Blanc is also a good choice if you like dry white wine with your meal. The fruity, but dry finish of a good Pinot Grigio is perfect for that dry white meat turkey which did not turn out as juicy as you had hoped for. If you like red wine with your meal, choose a lighter style Merlot, or a Pinot Noir. Other choices in whites, are Riesling and Viognier, both excellent with turkey. If you are having Ham this year as we are, try a Rose or a Pinot Grigio.
Below is a list of wines which I have written about during the year which would be good choices for your Thanksgiving Dinner.
