Thanksgiving Wines

Monday November 9, 2009

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, there is no better time to start planning your Thanksgiving dinner menu and selecting wines to complement the feast. Historically, the week before Thanksgiving is also a great time to buy wine as many wine merchants run specials on preferred holiday wines.

While the turkey may claim center stage on most Thanksgiving Day tables, if you limit the scope of your Thanksgiving wine pairing to the bird you'll have missed ample opportunity to showcase exciting varietals against the flavor backdrop of an interesting array of tastes and textures, as presented by your favorite family side dishes.

Interested in learning which wines are most likely to bring out the best in your Thanksgiving day menu? Check out key varietals that promise easy Thanksgiving pairing potential with minimum risk and maximum flavor here.
