Wondering what to do for Thanksgiving Dinner?

Seriously Simple… Wine & Recipes.

Thanksgiving is a tough holiday. Figuring out which wines to pair with such a wide assortment of foods is a challenge for even the most experienced chef and the thought of entertaining on top of everything makes it stressful!

Luckily, traditional Thanksgiving foods pair well with a variety of wines. For the white wine lover, a soft Chardonnay is a great accompaniment to poultry and an assortment of sides. Even though many assume white wine is the ideal poultry pairing, Pinot Noir's fruity character and lack of tannins are ideal for serving with turkey. It's vibrant and fruity character is sure to please red wine drinkers too.

Need a little help with your Thanksgiving menu? We've teamed up with Amy Sherman, author of Cooking with Amy and a Williams-Sonoma cookbook, to develop a tasty Thanksgiving menu. While each recipe has a perfectly paired wine, we've chosen wines that will complement your whole dinner.
