Happy Thanksgiving to all our great customers! We have some terrific turkey day wines for you all over the store, but I wanted to focus on a few that have wowed me just recently. For me, great food wine is a balanced wine with elegance and grace. Check out these wines that are perfect for pairing with your Thanksgiving spread:
Jean-Marc Brocard Chablis Sainte Claire, 2015, France ($21.99)
A rich take on Chablis, yet has a salty tang to the apple, melon, yellow plum and lemon flavors. Its chalky, mineral finish adds a sense of place and will make your Turkey dinner a joy. — 90 points, Wine Spectator
Graville-Lacoste “Graves” Bordeaux Blanc, 2015, France ($18.99)
75% Semillon, 20% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Muscadelle, this wine is fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel. Mid-weight, clean and fresh, it is a great alternative white for fans of everything from unoaked California Chardonnay to Sancerre and Albariño.
The Calling Russian River Pinot Noir, 2014, California ($15.99, save $6.00)
A generously fruity, just-ripe and refined wine that offers classic notions of the appellation in a warm, welcoming vintage. From rhubarb, to cranberry and cherry, to cola spice and clove, this wine shows an intensity that should meld and mellow in the bottle in short order. — 91 points, Wine Enthusiast
Felsina Chianti Classico Riserva, 2013 ($31.99)
This super refined wine with sliced berry and hints of cedar and vanilla is full-bodied, bright and crisp with a lovely finish. From Tuscany, this wine is versatile enough to go with many different dishes. — 92 points, James Suckling
Cheers!
