As Thanksgiving approaches, (October 14th, 2024) it’s the perfect time to reflect on the warmth of family, the joy of gathering, and of course, the food and wine that make the holiday so special. This time of year, the table is filled with rich flavors that highlight the season, and selecting the right wine can elevate your Thanksgiving feast to something truly memorable.

Pairing Wine with Thanksgiving Dinner
The star of the meal is often turkey, which, being a mild protein, pairs well with a variety of wines. But the real challenge comes with the diverse sides: sweet potatoes, tart cranberries, savory stuffing—each brings its own flavors. Here are some wine-pairing tips to ensure your meal is as harmonious as your family gathering:

- Red Wines: Opt for lighter reds that won’t overpower the turkey or clash with the sides. Wines like Pinot Noir, Grenache, or Beaujolais offer fruit-forward flavors with soft tannins, making them perfect companions to the mix of dishes on your Thanksgiving table.
- White Wines: If white is more your style, consider something that balances the richness of the food without being too sharp or oaky. Riesling (dry or off-dry), Viognier, and Chenin Blanc all have the versatility to handle the variety of flavors that come with Thanksgiving.
- Sparkling Wines: Don’t forget about bubbly! Sparkling wine or Champagne can bring a fresh, celebratory touch to your meal. Its acidity and bubbles make it a great pairing for everything from turkey to stuffing to cranberry sauce.
