Wines for Thanksgiving
2 Wines this week! These varietals are classics for the Thanksgiving meal: Pinot Noir, a nice red that is strong enough to stand up to roasted meats and pairs well with poultry and cranberry sauce. And an off-dry Riesling for when the heavy fall side dishes need a light, brightly acidic accompaniment to cut through the richness and bring balance to the meal.
DaviS Bynum Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
2021, Sonoma County, California
This wine opens with a hint of minerality before notes of ripe strawberry and cherry fruit fill your senses. Toasted marshmallow, baking spice and creamy tones follow in a nod to the choice of oak barrels. The rich mouth is balanced with acidity underpinning flavors of cherry, spice and savory notes. The finish is elegant, showing classic flavors of cherry compote and toasted oak through the end.

Loosen Bros Dr. L Riesling
2020, Mosel, Germany
This Riesling embodies the delicate and racy style that is characteristic of Riesling grown in the slate-soil vineyards of the Mosel valley. And, best of all, it delivers this uniquely delicious and invigorating taste at a very affordable price for every day enjoyment. It is a bright, refreshing, fruit-driven wine, with a juicy mid-palate and a crisp, drying finish.
