A GUIDE FOR USING WINES DURING THANKSGIVING

We offer a few options of wines which can be served during Thanksgiving. There is no single wine which will go along with the appetisers, the turkey meat as well as the pecan or pumpkin pie. But the way these are paired depends on our personal wish.


Some of the commonly used Thanksgiving red wines are Shiraz, Syrah Zinfandel as well as Pinot Noir. The white wines include Sauvigon Blanc, Riesling, Gewurztraminer as well as Viognier.


The best available options for white wines for thanksgiving are:


Sauvignon Blanc is a crispy white wine noted for being earthy


Herbaceous flavors is the candidate for turkey


Viognier is the white wine whose acidity level is low.


Riesling is the white wine which may be excellent and sweet with dishes which are lightly spiced.


Gewurztraminer is a white wine


The various options for red wines are:


Pinot Noir is the red wine which is the traditional favourite


Zinfandel is the red wine that has higher intensity than Pinot Noir. This is the best option for deep flavours.


Syrah/Shiraz is another red wine can be served along with turkey as well as peppy items.


Beaujolais Nouveau is a fruity and light red wine which goes along very well with all the fixings including turkey.


If you want a single serve of wine for the Thanksgiving Day, the choose Sherry wine or a rose wine which sparkles. These can be used for the go between people.


If the option is a sparkling wine, then go ahead by choosing the one which has more e of a fruit flavour which will be labelled extra dry.


For organising a Thanksgiving party, you do not have to spend huge amounts of cash, if the guests are between five and fifty in numbers. So choose for a wine which does not require you to spend too much.
