Bubbles:

Sparkling wine should always grace the dinner table, as there’s always something to celebrate and bubbles are perfect for such occasions. While Champagne has its place in the world, today we will focus on Cava, Spain’s iconic sparkling wine. If you are looking for an excellent wine steeped in history, crafted using traditional methods and reflecting a strong sense of place, you cannot go wrong with Cava.

Red Wines:

If your goal is to find the perfect pairing for turkey, our favorites are wines made from grape varietals such as Gamay, (look for Beaujolais wines), Cabernet Franc (Chinon from the Loire Valley in France is an excellent option!), Pinot Noir or a Grenache-based blend (for example a Côtes du Rhône). The lighter to medium tannins and bright acidity of these wines enhance the experience without overpowering the taste.

White Wines:

Pairing white wine with Thanksgiving meals can be challenging, but if you opt for a Riesling, you can’t go wrong! Riesling can be sweet, off-dry, or dry—there’s a Riesling for everyone! Other white wines that will pair wonderfully with your Thanksgiving dinner include Gewürztraminer, Viognier, and Albariño.

As you gather around the table to share moments of joy and gratitude, let the perfect wine pairings and unique experiences enhance the celebration. We hope you create cherished memories around the dinner table, toasting with a glass of wine in hand this Thanksgiving.

Grüner Veltliner: Austria’s Greatest White Wine Explained

Grüner Veltliner is Austria’s most important grape, and it’s one of the most food-friendly white wines in the world.

How to Decant Wine: When to Use a Decanter (and When to Skip It)

Decanting is one of those wine rituals that looks complicated and often gets treated as optional or purely ceremonial. It isn’t. For the right wine, decanting makes a real, noticeable difference in how it tastes. For the wrong wine, it’s unnecessary. Knowing which is which is the whole skill.

Pinot Noir is the most seductive red wine in the world — and the most difficult to make well.
