Happy Thanksgiving to your family from the Vintner's Circle family.

With a chill in the air and the aromas of roasted turkey and pumpkin pie just around the corner, it’s time for you to stock up on some wonderful varieties of wines that will see you through the next few weeks of entertaining friends and family.

Thanksgiving Food and Wine Pairings.

You should be able to find these wines at any wine shop. When guests arrive in the late afternoon, serve them a chilled glass of French Viognier alongside a platter of cheeses (medium to strong tasting), fruit and crackers.

When its time for the main entree of roast turkey and most likely a variety of rich, cream-based side dishes – remember to pair these heavy dishes and poultry meats with a Chardonnay. The Chardonnay wine, in fact, is the most popular wine in the United States, so you will be safe with several chilled bottles of this variety on-hand all the time. For red wines, choose New Zealand Pinot Noir or Vieux Chateau du Roi.

Save a special treat for the dessert course and impress everyone with a fun, frivolous ice wine! These will surely satisfy the sweet tooth type in your crowd as well as add a dimension of spark to the evening that is unfolding as you all relax with a slice of delicious pie and tasty ice wine - surely a guaranteed holiday show stopper.

Call now to book an appointment during the winter months to make these and other wines for next year's Thanksgiving dinner. Create a game this holiday to see who can come up with the best name to personalize your wine labels.
