What Are We Drinking: Thanksgiving Edition

What are we drinking for turkey day?

Thanksgiving feast is a wonderful occasion to have a variety of wines at the table that may different style, color, texture, and price point because the menu is, also, so diverse. We always recommend Pinot Noir. Because it’s a grand call, but there are so many other beautiful selections that might fit you and your dinner party. Here are some of our faves this season. Some old, and some new, but they all have common is straight up deliciousness.


Sottimano Dolcetto ’23
$23.99

Duh. This wine is amazing and is every year. It fits most palates and tastes and we have an exclusive on it, so you can only get it here. It’s also very LIMITED this year, so jump on it!


DAVID’S PICK!
Jaimee Motley Chenin Blanc
$39.99

We don’t go nuts over domestic Chenin Blanc unless it’s damn good. AND THIS ONE IS. David loves it for its texture and gorgeous, ripe, luxurious fruit. There’e enough acidity to hold up to all sides and fatty bits, too.


KRISTEN’S PICK!
H. Billiot Fils Ambonnay Grand Cru Champagne
$59.99

Yes, you can drink Champagne before the meal, during the meal and after, if you want, and Kristen will! Lush and creamy with a zippy acidity and notes of fresh bread dough, creme de cassis, star anise, candied ginger and salted almonds. Holy yum.


Marengo Barolo Brunate, Sottimano Barbaresco Basarin
$94.99, $93.99

Need some baller B&B? Pick up the Marengo Barolo Brunate or the Sottimano Barbaresco Basarin. You’ll have structure, power, aromatics, elegance and a finish that will kill. Decant if you have the time.


Occhipinti SP68 Rouge
$41.99

For the adventurous natural wine collector pick up the Occhipinti SP68 Rouge. An aromatic, lithe, juicy and elegant blend of Frappato and Nero d’Avola. Limited and just a pure delight.


Super Deluxe Pinot Noir, It’ll Do
$34.99, $19.99

Super Deluxe Pinot Noir is back, and we’ll never let our customer fave, It’ll Do, go. Both are from The Marigny out of Willamette Valley, OR, and we love these guys for a non traditional but DELICIOUS and crowd pleasing selection of Pinots. Bring them, and you’ll bring the party.


SETH’S PICK!
Ted Glennon Sabroso
F&F: $34.99 (Reg $41.99)

Sabroso means tasty and it surely is. We LOVE this juicy, electric, silky textured red blend from Ted Glennon for apps, turkey time, or cranberry curd pie. And the label is stupid cute.


Pinot Noir Varieties
$31.99-$64.99

For those of you who want ALL the Pinot try some our faves: Cobb ($64.99) out of the Sonoma Coast, Au Bon Climat ($31.99) out of Santa Barbara, or Walter Hansel out of the Russian River ($59.99) and our old faves from Oregon, J.K Carriere Provocateur and Belle Pente ($36.99 and $32.99). These are classic, classy and gorgeous.

And that’s just for starters, y’all! We’ve got recs for miles, so if you like these or want some other more affordable or off the beaten path pairings, we’ve got you there, too. Come see us now through Wednesday. Happy Turkey Season!
