Time to Think About Wine for Thanksgiving

November 20th 2008

Well, on our last trip to California wine country we bought some white wine, but we have since enjoyed every last drop of it.  In Seattle, we picked up a couple of nice wines from Columbia Winery -- a Viognier and a dry Reisling -- so we will have those. 

I think they will be fantastic with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, corn, cranberry relish, home made bread, pumkin pie, and cherry pie.

Probably the best Thanksgiving food-and-wine pairing we ever had was a Semillon -- but now I don't remember the winery where we got it.  I will look it up and pass it along to you (it was several years ago) because it was very special.

A good Pinot Noir might be good, too. Hmmm, I think there's a 2005 Cuvaison back there somewhere.  We've also been invited to a neighbor's on Saturday, so I'll fish out something nice to take over.

What's your favorite turkey-dinner wine?
