Holiday Wine Pairings
'Tis
the season to eat turkey and other white meats! We've gone back
through our tasting archive to highlight our favorite dinner pairing
suggestions. In sharing our passion for handcrafted wines, we hope
we can introduce you to a wine worth rejoicing in—something appropriate
to bring to the table on America's day of thanks.
ZINFANDEL
Before
it hit California, Zinfandel was a favorite varietal in America's
Northeast.
SYRAH
A
robust Rhône varietal bursting onto the American scene, jammy
Syrahs
are the flavor of the month.
RED BLEND
On
a more intense note, how about a fusion product from Stephane Asseo—French
Bordeaux winemaker gone Rhône—with his powerful options.
GEWUERZTRAMINER
Gewürztraminer seems to shine only at the holidays. Uncork a bottle of this undervalued
style and you'll soon find yourself drinking Gewürzt all year
round.
ROSÉ
Norman
Rockwell meets Cézanne? Why not! The Mediterranean essence
of a dry rosé intermingling with the tart sweetness of cranberry
sauce will have any wine lover thinking pink.
SPARKLERS
Before
dinner or paired with the main event, on a celebratory occasion
you can never go wrong with bubbly.

wine recommendations!
