Zonin (Prosecco) – Sparkling Italian Wine

Suggestions: use as an aperitif, for welcoming friends/family into your home, light appetizers, while cooking, as a palate cleanser throughout the meal

Food: finger foods, creamy/nutty cheese and cheese plates, Maple Nut Crusted Goat Cheese Log (from our Cafe!)

The creamy bubbles and soft fruity flavor makes Prosecco an ideal aperitif to stimulate your appetite for the Thanksgiving feast ahead! Sparkling wines can also be consumed throughout the entirety of the meal as a refreshing palate cleanser in between bites.

Pine Ridge (Chenin Blanc/Viognier) – Light White

Food: Herb Crusted Goat Cheese Log (from our Cafe!), Crunchy Cucumber-Cilantro Salad, Green Bean Casserole, Pear and Blue Cheese Salad

This off- dry white offers a stunning aromatic display of honeydew melons, spring flowers, pears and cantaloupe. It is a wine with crisp, zesty acids, medium body and abundant purity as well as freshness; a delightful complement to the holiday meal that has been geared towards lighter fare!

Four Vines Naked (Unoaked Chardonnay) – Medium White

Food: Creamed Onions, Mashed Potatoes, Spaghetti Squash (from our Cafe!), Fruit Aspic

This beautifully styled Chardonnay has a lovely bouquet of custard with a creamy richness on the palate. With no apparant oak, this wine is bright, tangy and crisp with nectarine and lemon notes that expand on the finish. This wine has an elegant medium-bodied personality that can stand up to the likes of holiday potatoes and other denser fair.

Angeline California (Pinot Noir) – Light Red

Food: Traditional Stuffing, Turkey Breast, Butternut Squash Puree (from our Cafe!), Sweet Potato Biscuits, Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta, Creamed Corn Cornbread

Bright fruit aromas, ripe berry flavors and velvety textures make this great value Pinot Noir a wonderful addition to your Thanksgiving spread. It’s complex enough in flavor to not be overwhelmed by the food, but subdued enough to let your culinary creations shine through!

Shebang (Zinfandel Blend) – Medium Red

Food: Cranberry Sauce/Relish, Roasted Acorn Squash, Roasted Yams, Bacon Wrapped Dates

An innovative, old vine cuvee Zinfandel blend that will satisfy even the most demanding wine enthusiast! Spicy and full bodied, this versatile wine will drink well with both earthy and fruity fare! Think: turkey, butternut squash, sweet potato, cranberry sauce….yum!

Meiomi (Pinot Noir) – Medium/Bold Red

Food: Savory Sausage Stuffing, Traditional Turkey and Gravy, Grilled Vegetables, Wild Mushroom Rice Pilaf, Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes Gratin

This Pinot Noir is an instant crowd pleaser for those that insist on a bigger wine with their holiday meals! Intensely aromatic and packed with earthy-fruit and a long, pleasant finish, Meiomi is bold enough to stand up to the perhaps less traditional Thanksgiving fare that have more pronounced flavors.
