What is the best wine to go with Thanksgiving dinner? Turkey and stuffing, ect...?

Question

Ok...now, my husband is talking about ever clear! We both have annoying extended families!

I DO like the white zinfendal! I think I will get some of that because I probably will be the only one drinking it. Husband doesn't like wine, so he is out! Thanks for the info!

Answer 1

Traditionally, thanksgiving pairs well with a light red or dry white. This would be your Pinot Noir, or Chardonnay. I'd go with the Pinot Noir myself...and White Zinfandel is not red, Shiraz is.

Answer 2

White wine tends to best with pultry but thanksgiving dinner can be a very rich meal with a lot of different flavors going on. If you are determined to go with white wine I would serve either gewurtzraminer or dry reisling, these will compliment the bird. If you are looking for something that is really going to go with the whole meal I would serve a medium bodied merlot or a spicy syrah. These wines will stand up to the gravy, dressing, sweet potatoes and whatever else your family does on thanksgiving.

Answer 3

On the white side go with a reisling. My first Thanksgiving at my now in-laws I brought a bottle of Eroica and now I am required to bring it every year (even though its price went up almost 50%)

As far as reds, all of the wine mags will tell you Beaujolais Nouveau is the way to go and I think most people who are newer to wine or aren't too wine snobby will like it. However, I prefer to go with Zinfandel as it is usually more complex and a good fruit forward one matches well with the cranberries and cuts through the more dense sides. Plus, Pinot Noir is so damn expensive these days.

I like the idea of a dry Rose as well (make sure not to go with a sweet one). Its lighter and the acidity really does well with the turkey - at least I think so.

However, you should drink what you like even if it doesn't match the food.

Answer 4

A brand of wine very hard to find here, in the USA, is from the winery of BODEGAS FERRINO, de Cuatro Cienegas, Coahuila, Mexico ( happens to be the town where I have my mountain valley retirement home), red = 'Sangre de Cristo', white = 'Niebles Blanco'.
Over 90% is exported from Mexico to France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Portigal.
This and another winery was first started up in the 1860's and produce far less than what is demanded, for sales.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERY ONE, " MAY THE BIG BOSS ABOVE, SMILE UPON EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU, AND YOUR FAMILIES." .

Answer 5

try a beajoulis neavaeu it is resealed the saturday before. It is red but so light and fruity. the first wine of the year to be release it only spends about2 months in the barrel. It is a classic pairing with that dinner.

Answer 6

champagne, a rose champagne would be nice, on the dry side sauvignon blanc or pinot grigio for a bolder flavor a chardonnay or if you prefer sweeter wines a reisling or gerwertztriminer. if you like reds try a white zinfandel or shiraz/syrah

Answer 7

my house will be serving a Matanazas Creek Chardonnay and Wild Horse Zinfandel. both from california. We may also have a blanc de noirs sparkling.

Answer 8

I am not sure. Anyway, why not try the Vampire Wine from Romania, or Klain Draken from South Africa?
