GAME ON – TWO WINES FOR TURKEY DAY

thanksgiving-pumpkinsthe-nfl-begins-football-grassWhat wines go with Turkey? That also pair nicely with all the sides? Now that is a bit complicated. So why don’t we reverse engineer this scenario and start with, what will my friends and family enjoy, that won’t steal the show or dent my budget? Check out this eclectic Italian duo.

I recommend this Central Italian white, the Casal Thaulero Trebbiano d’Abruzzo, which toes the line between a rich Pinot Grigio and a light Chardonnay, and a Tuscan red, the Avignonesi Rosso di Montepulciano, richer than Pinot Noir but not as heavy as a Cabernet. Both are just right for those who like to sip throughout the lengthy meal.

Happy Thanksgiving!
