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 crisp Sauvignon Blanc 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.

Plus, a festive sparkler is a great beginning to the meal, whether you’re serving appetizers or kicking off the meal with a toast, and it goes well with all sorts of desserts. Pop one open and get the gathering going.

Then, there’s always the question of how much to buy. Of course, that depends on how many people are coming to dinner, but we've done a little arranging for you.
