Drink THIS with Thanksgiving Dinner!

 

I ALWAYS like starting big family Holiday meals (and even small ones) with a SPARKLING WINE – whether it is from Italy, California or France

LAMARCA PROSECCO (ITALY)

~ has always been a favorite of mine

 

A little pricier (but not much more $$)  Would be the GLORIA FERRER sparkling wine from California.

 

And for the SPLURGE I recommend the

PIPER-HEIDSIECK CHAMPAGNE

this is from Champagne France so we are allowed to call it CHAMPAGNE…..

 

Pinot Noir is always a nice lighter bodied red to pair with the BIRD, HAM, LAMB – or whatever you serve for Thanksgiving.

In order of price

Smoking Loon $, Pinot Project $$ & Wild Horse $$$

 

If you are looking for a WHITE –

try this for a change – GRUNER VETLINER

It’s a little off the beaten path – something new for THANKSGIVING

 

oh KUNG FU GIRL  — love this wine

Dry Riesling I like this EVERY DAY & not just on THANKSGIVING!

 

 

Clos Pegase is a splurge wine.

 

This one has a nice Buttery flavor..

mmmmm!!

 

 

 

If you MUST have a hearty red –

you really want to go with a ZIN so you are not overwhelmed with the tannins like a big chewy Cab.

Marietta is a LOVELY BLEND & it will not disappoint!

 

this is dry & has smooth Tannins.

Try it, you’ll  like it!

I know – A little crazy –

Chocolate AND Wine — TOGETHER.

It tastes WAY better than it sounds. REALLY.

 

AMARULA – similar to Bailey’s but better.

AND, it helps the elephants.

 

 

Like Tequila? Like Coffee?

You will LOVE this. Trust me.
