It’s the same question that we get every year when Thanksgiving rolls around: What are the best wines to serve with the traditional holiday feast?
When trying to come up with the “perfect” wine pairing, it’s important to keep in mind that the classic Thanksgiving menu includes a wide range of aromas, flavors, and textures. You get nearly everything on the savory/sweet spectrum. So no one wine is going to go with every dish. You’ll need a variety of wines, served throughout the course of the meal, to find the right one for every food and everyone,
The other important thing to remember is that the Thanksgiving gathering brings together a wide range of people as well. In many people’s homes, you’ll find the “I drink wine only once or twice a year” people sitting next to connoisseurs and collectors who drink wine at nearly every meal. And that is the main reason, in our view, to make sure you have a wide variety of wines on hand. You want to have something for everyone.
As we gear up for the holiday gathering, we have assembled a wonderful assortment of food-friendly wines, including a few higher-end labels. Please check out our holiday season features here.
