I think this was one of my better Thanksgiving wine and food pairings.
The Wines:
Gruet Blanc De Noir – The best value sparkling wine.
Beckmen Vineyards 2013 Grenache Rose’ – One of my “go to” wines for Thanksgiving.
Tablas Creek Vineyard 2011 Patelin de Tablas Blanc – a great Rhone blend that was balanced between richness and crispness.
Cosentino Winery 2012 The Franc – Lushous herb with a bit of spice and dark fruit.
The Food:
Herb Roasted Turkey
Cornbread Dressing
Cranberry Sauce
Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows, also fresh Sweet Potatoes Roasted with Rosemary
Creamed Corn
Truffle Mac & Cheese
Candied Pecan, Cranberry, Pears & Gorgonzola with Field Greens
Pumpkin Custard Pie with a Ginger Snap Crust
All I can say is that everything went well with everything!
Thank You Twisted Peeps for bringing the food and fun!
