Thanksgiving wine tip – Whites
Sparkling wine is a terrific choice for appetizers and dessert. It would be excellent with dinner. Try Gruet Brut or Rosé at Safeway and other stores for around $14 – $16. Gloria Ferrer is at Costco for $14.

Chardonnay is always a fan favorite, even if it might be too oaky and buttery for a roasted turkey. Chances are several guests will bring their favorite Chardonnay to share. At Weimax Wines, a fantastic choice is the Pedroncelli Chardonnay from the Dry Creek Valley. The price is under $15. Another good Chardonnay for your turkey is the Blue Quail at Mollie Stone’s for $15.

Thanksgiving wine tip – Rosé
A bottle of dry Rosé wine is very versatile. Rosé is a great food match for Thanksgiving. We very much like the Carol Shelton Rendezvous Rosé. It is at the Safeway and Mollie Stone’s stores for around $15.

Thanksgiving wine tip – Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is a medium-bodied wine with lovely red fruit flavors and some spice. It would be perfect with turkey. We like the Talbott Kali Hart Pinot Noir at the Safeway for around $18. Costco has several under $20. Try the Kirkland Pinot Noir from Russian River Valley or Carneros.

Thanksgiving wine tip – Dessert Wine
Nothing finishes off a Thanksgiving meal like a delicious dessert wine. The best choice is a Sauterne or any local Late Harvest wines. K&L Wines has many choices, as does Weimax Wines. Any of these would be excellent with a fantastic authentic pumpkin pie.
Final Thanksgiving Wine Tip: Make sure there is a designated driver for all your guests or call Lyft or Uber. Keep Thanksgiving safe and happy!
