Thanksgiving Wine Pairing

Thanksgiving dinner has a little bit of everything: savory roast turkey, creamy potatoes, herb-filled stuffing, bright cranberry sauce, rich vegetables, and pie waiting at the end. The good news? There is a wine for all of it.
Join us for a festive Thanksgiving Wine Pairing & Tasting, featuring five hand-selected wines chosen to complement the flavors of a classic holiday meal and some light snacks. Whether you are hosting Thanksgiving, bringing a bottle to someone else’s table, or simply want to sip your way into the season, this tasting will help you find the perfect wines for your celebration. During the evening, we’ll taste and discuss five wines selected to pair beautifully with:

• Roast turkey with herbs, butter, and rich pan gravy
• Creamy mashed potatoes, traditional stuffing, and dinner rolls
• Green bean casserole, roasted or candied sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts
• Tart cranberry sauce
• Pumpkin pie or pecan pie with whipped cream

You’ll learn why certain wines work so well with Thanksgiving’s mix of savory, sweet, creamy, herbal, and tangy flavors—and leave with practical, confidence-building recommendations for your own holiday table.
