Do you recommend any French Rose wines to go with the traditional turkey Thanksgiving meal?

Answer 1

Alright!
It all depends on what stuffing you will decide to go with your Turkey and what type of side dishes, starches and desserts.
There are many varietals who conceive beautiful and complex French Rose's. For example you can get a nice Rose from a Malbec & Merlot blend.If you are going to get any Rose, based on the general ideas of Turkey and stuffing ,perhaps a nice tartaric and deep Rose will combine nicely with the Turkey. A nice option would be a Rose done from Grenache. Rose's are usually milder than the Red varietal itself, sometimes a little bit sweeter.
I recommend a Rose from Bordeaux because the Bourdeaux grapes are Cab Sauv, Cab Franc, Merlot, Carmeniere and Malbec. I do not recommned a Rose 100% from Cab Franc, you probably will find it very dull.
If you would like to go even further, a nice Carignan would be fantastic, but I do not think you will found a Rose here in the US.
Good luck and bon appetit!

Answer 2

No Rose. A RED Zinfandel is a good choice for a red. Also, for a white, try a Gerurztraminer. They vary greatly in characteristics. Try Fetzer brand, or ask at your local wine shop for something with a sweeter characteristic rather than dry.

Answer 3

I would recommend a light red, such as Pinot Noir or Zinfandel, but you might want to try this year's Beaujolais Nouveaux, which has just been released. It's a light fruity red and should be served cool, but not icy cold.

Answer 4

Taste is all personal. So if you like rose with turkey, go right ahead. Any rose D'Anjou would do, there are many labels.

Answer 5

No, too light. Get a decent red.

Answer 6

yeah!
it sounds so french!!!!
