Thanksgiving Guide: Wines to Serve at Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is the time to gather around comforting dishes and good wine while spending quality time with your loved ones. It is also the season of giving, so we have given you all a helping hand in serving your friends and family the perfect wine to enjoy!

Companion Wines Los Carneros Pinot Noir 2019

Pinot Noir is a diverse wine that pairs well with various flavors on your dinner table this Thanksgiving. Los Carneros is big and bold, with mild blackberry and hints of red berries and tobacco. The high acidity balances the salt and acids in turkey while complementing the fat and sweetness of cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes. This robust Pinot Noir will pair perfectly with your roasted turkey and any sweet and vegetable side dishes on the table!

Companion Wines Companion Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

This fourth vintage of Companion Cabernet Sauvignon is full of floral and dark cherry notes from the Napa Valley microclimate. The oak is forward yet subtle, with a slight pepper note and smooth finish. Its full body, tannins, and dark fruit flavors brilliantly complement the rich, fatty, savory taste of duck dishes! This wine will also pair well with side dishes such as sweet potato casserole or Thanksgiving gravy.

Companion Wines Elefante California Red Blend N.V.

This delicate Red Blend of California grapes has a perfect balance of soft tannins, spice, and rich red fruits. Elefante pairs fantastically with lamb chops in intense sauces, like our Lamb Loin Chops with Pan Sauce with Cumin and Chilis. This pairing brings something different to your Thanksgiving table, yet it is versatile enough to be a favorite among friends and family!

Mathieu-Gandon Rosé Nature Champagne N.V.

Planning to serve something other than Turkey? We have the perfect wine to pair with your chicken dishes! Our MG Rosé Nature Champagne goes exceptionally well with a zesty chicken dish such as Chicken Under a Brick. The freshness of this wine balances well with the body, completed by a clean finish that will linger, ending with red fruit aromas. The crisp acidity and bubbles will cut through the rich, juicy chicken! 

Companion Wines Yellow Star Chardonnay

An unoaked Chardonnay is perfect for those lighter foods to let the wine shine! Our Yellow Star Chardonnay certainly shines bright with its crisp gold color, along with a light citrus and toasted baguette note! In most cases, stuffing contains various ingredients like onions, bread, celery, seasonings, and more that this Chardonnay will pair nicely with. Our Yellow Star is also a great wine with substitute turkey dishes such as salmon or baked chicken!

Guy de Chassey Champagne Extra Brut N.V.

Toasting over a delicious meal with your loved ones is a must this season! Guy de Chassey Champagne Extra Brut is an exquisite holiday addition to your wine collection. This Champagne shows a beautiful golden color with citrus notes. To end Thanksgiving night with a light and fluffy dessert such as lemon meringue pie, which will pair perfectly with the toastiness of the Champagne and complement the fruity notes.
