As you plan on your Thanksgiving menu, thinking and selecting wine to pair with your meal is important (and fun). We asked Ralph’s Hingham Wine Merchant for some of Ralph’s favorite picks:
Below are some of our favorite wines to pair with the holiday bird with the hope that we can make your Thanksgiving as wonderful as possible!
Andre Blanck Pinot Gris 2019: A “wow” of a white wine from Alsace, France made from 100% Pinot Gris from a family estate that’s been making wine for seven generations! Super versatile as a pairing wine this unoaked white is a perfect match for the flavors on your Thanksgiving plate.
Shea Wine Cellars “Shea Vineyard” Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2017: “The estate bottling brings together the various clones planted at this iconic vineyard. Offering a complex weave of plum, marionberry, and blackberry, it matches its delicious fruit with 40% new French oak, adding a seam of coffee and dark chocolate. The tannins are polished to a fine gloss.” Editors' Choice. 93 Points Wine Enthusiast.
Neyers Vista Notre Zinfandel 2018: The 2018 Neyers Vista Notre Zinfandel is aged for a year in neutral French oak barrels, then bottled without fining or filtration. Aromas of bright red fruits with a hint of spice combine beautifully in the glass and make it the perfect red for the Thanksgiving table!
