whats a good wine with thankgiving dinner?

Answer 1

sauvignon blanc or pinot grigio.. both dry whites.. enjoy

Answer 2

A great wine to pair with Thanksgiving dinner is Pinot Noir. The grape is miraculously difficult to grow and has been made famous by the movie "Sideways" for good reason. Try an Au Bon Climat Pinot from Santa Barbara County or, if you can find it, a bottle of SeaSmoke, so named for the fog that rolls through the canyons in the hills above Santa Barbara that cool the temperamental grapes. With plum and earthiness on the palate, Pinot Noir is a wonderful accompaniment to Turkey and Stuffing, especially with equally earthy herbs such as rosemary, thyme and sage.
If you are more of a white wine drinker, try a Viogner or Roussanne from the same region - they are not your typical white and are probably some the most interesting wines coming from Santa Barbara County right now. The Bridlewood Viogner is a yummy mid-range wine with a floral nose, while the Qupe Roussanne shines at a bit higher price point.

Answer 3

Since not everybody is into a dry wine, you want to get something that is semi-sweet or sweet. Sweet wine's match with anything since they are universal. They pair well with white meatsMuscato Spumantes are popular and they are inexpensive. It's a light bubbly wine that tastes like sparkling apple juice but not AS sweet. Go to your nearest liquor store and go to the wine selection. Look at Muscato Spumantes, they have many different brands. Don't get the cheapest ones because those won't be good in flavor. Get something that is in mid-range ($11-$20) If you have any questions, just let me know. Good luck and have a great thanksgiving!

Answer 4

First of all, let go of red/white "rules" - Just because you have turkey, white wine is not obligatory. If you have a large crowd, get several wines, to please the variety of tastes. Second, the best wine choices will work well with the vast variety of flavors and textures in the traditional Thanksgiving meal. (That's a tall order, isn't it!).

The classic red for Thanksgiving is Pinot Noir. Light, soft, and deeply aromatic, it has the versatility to complement a great variety of foods. Other good choices are Syrah and Zinfandel. Both have the depth of spice and body to appeal to those with a taste for a little more zing. (And Zin is soooo very American!)

The classic white for Thanksgiving is Riesling. Again, light, soft, oh so aromatic, and floral and fruity, pairs nicely with almost everything, especially the spiced dishes. (Off-dry my preference; no sweet in my glass please!) Another good choice is Sauvignon Blanc; crisp, acidic, a little herbaceous, very nice with herb seasoned dishes. Also, Chenin Blanc, and the ubiquitous Chardonnay (the citrusy fruitiness works well with the turkey).

This is making me hungry ... enjoy!!!

Answer 5

I agree with Erin, Pinot Noir is my personal favorite, and it will go with just about everything. Pairs great with Turkey

The Willamette Valley (OR) wines are the best, but also can be a bit pricy. Eyrie, Benton Lane, Ponzi, Willamette Valley Vineyards are all homeruns!

Bring out a white also, go with a Sonoma Chardonnay. Francis Coppola is great.

Enjoy

Answer 6

I have usually provided both a red and a white wine for Thanksgiving but right now I highly recommend Woop Woop Shiraz, a fantastic red wine from Australia. It is just really great!

Answer 7

Chardonnay

Answer 8

I enjoy white wine and I think Pinot Grigiot is delicious!

Answer 9

I always bring Beaujolais Nouveau because it always released right around Thanksgiving.

Answer 10

Sangira de foncesca or sangre de toro
