Wining This Thanksgiving
When we think of Thanksgiving dinner, most of us get instant images of juicy turkey slices, creamy mashed potatoes, perfectly spiced stuffing and much, much more. However, some of us think of that perfect glass of wine — the brilliant flavors that perfectly complement the rich ingredients of each Thanksgiving course.
Wine & Food Pairings
This year, put together an incredible compilation of wines for your holiday dinner. The general rule in food and wine pairing is to match light wines such as Pinot Grigio and Riesling with light foods like fish, pork or salads. Heavier wines like Cabernet Sauvignon and Chianti are then paired with heartier dishes like pastas or steak. Nonetheless, many people have their favorite types of wines and prefer to drink those wines with every course or style of food. Therefore, a simple mix of red, white and dessert wines will always be well received.
Wine Baskets
If you're a dinner guest, a beautiful wine gift basket would be a lovely gift to the host. Gourmet wine baskets are perfect for dinner parties. Most wine baskets hold a nice assortment of whites and reds, so everyone can find something they'll enjoy. Some baskets even come with gourmet treats like chocolate truffles, cheese medleys, crackers, cookies and olives — all of which make great pre- and post-dinner snacks.
You can never go wrong with a variety. So whether you choose to create your own assortment or purchase a professionally arranged wine basket, your Thanksgiving guests will happily welcome enjoy your contribution to the holiday celebration.
