Top 10 Wine Finds for Thanksgiving Dinner

Friday November 21, 2008
Thanksgiving can be a high pressure event with all of the food prep, guest preferences, wine selections and seating arrangements, but it doesn't have to be! We'll try to pare down the preparations by offering up a starting point for wine picks and pairings. You will also find a handful of good value wines right around the $10 price point, as a houseful of guests can sometimes clip the wine budget fairly quickly. Read the top 10 recs here.

Great picks! The Segura Viuadas Rose is a great suggesstion. I’ve had their Brut Reserva, which is more expensive, but a nice alternative to champagne. Also, love Sauvignon Blanc added to a Fall/Winter menue. They pair well with appetizers, especially seafood based appetizers. I had Geyser Peak SB with crabcakes, and could easily see them made into minis for the holidays.

Thanks for the post. What an insane time of year!! I’ve had a couple of the wines on this list but must say Sean Minor Wines 2006 Cab is a steal for $17 is a great wine to consider for around the table during the meal. Check it out if you get a chance you won’t be disappointed.
