Thanksgiving is one of the most difficult meals to pair with, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try!

This year, for one of our weekly discussion questions I asked the Patrons how many wines they would be serving with their Thanksgiving/holiday feasts and the answer was overwhelmingly 2-3.

Given that, in this show I talk about combinations of two wines you can purchase for your table that will pair with many types of Thankgsivings. Some examples:

1. Off-dry Riesling or Vouvray (although butternut squash soup with a kick could do well with a regular Gewurztraminer)

2. Reds: Grenache, GSM blends from Rhône, California, Australia, etc., Garnacha from Spain, Zinfandel

1. Aromatic whites: Alsace Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, Torrontés, or Viognier

2. Fruity reds with low tannin: For smokey or braised meat: New World Pinot Noir, Côtes du Rhône, Garnacha. For something especially smoky: Saumur-Champigny from Loire

Desserts....Pecan Pie: Tawny Port, Madeira, Pedro Ximenez Sherry
