Wine with Thanksgiving

[Innkeeper]

There is a world of difference between what wine goes with turkey, and which ones go with Thanksgiving. A simply roasted turkey matches with a number of whites and light reds. We recently enjoyed Australian Riesling with a smoked turkey.

Thanksgiving is another story. Typically you are talking about a wide variety of very stong flavors. Collectively they obiliterate the backbone of lighter wines. Last year we sprung for a Loring Gary's Vinyard Pinot Noir, which is no fawning doe. Being somewhat poorer this year we will go back to the old reliable zinfandel. We have a Tobin James French Camp ready to go. We usually provide one of the better White Zins for the weaker of heart.
