Happy Thanksgiving



Turkey Day has arrived! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

I am thankful for many things including family, friends, and my blog readers. :)

I have some pictures of great wines that will pair well with Thanksgiving and holiday dinners.

First is a picture of the Elena Walch Gewurztraminer. This is a Gewurztraminer made by a Italian winemaker. It has a very floral nose and fruity taste. It would pair well with seafood and light salads.

Another good wine for the holiday season is a pinot noir. This Baileyana pinot noir can be purchased for $20 or under. It was nice and would go well with turkey or pork.

The Rex Hill Pinot Noir is also nice for under $20.

I enjoyed this Oyster Bay Chardonnay a couple years ago at Thanksgiving. It is very nice and from New Zealand. Also easy to open with the screw cap!

Finally, if you are looking for a more intense red wine for the holiday season, then grab a bottle of the Seghesio Aglianico. I enjoyed the 2006 vintage this past week. It has a dark purple and red color with scents of cinnamon spice. It has a warm and rounded taste with soft tannins. I paired this wine with a Blue Stilton from England.

Have a great holiday and always enjoy fabulous wines.
