Thanksgiving Pairing Ideas
It’s that time of year again–the biggest meal of the year. And you can’t have a ton of food on the table without having a lot of wine as well. (At least not at my table…) With so many different flavors going on, I suggest getting several different wines and exploring the pairing possibilities. Here are some ideas to get you started.Thanksgiving wine ideas

How do you cook your turkey? Let me count the ways….

Smoked: 2005 Planchon Zinfandel, 2005Hendry Reserve Zinfandel
Fried: 2005 Aparicio Zinfandel
Roasted: 2006 Contra Costa County Zinfandel, 2005 San Francisco Bay Mourvedre
Rotisserie-style: 2005 Lone Oak Pinot Noir, 2005 Monte Rosso Reserve Zin (as suggested by Bon Appetit)
Spicy (i.e. Cajun/Creole): 2005 North Coast Rosé, 2006 Kathy’s Cuvee Viognier

And now for the sides

Cornbread stuffing: 2006 Kathy’s Cuvee or 2005 Carla’s Zinfandel
Oyster stuffing: 2006 Preston Marsanne, 2006 Rust Ridge Chardonnay
Chorizo stuffing: 2005 Abba Syrah, 2005 England Shaw Syrah, 2005 NC Rosé
Mashed potatoes with gravy: 2005 Lone Oak Pinot, 2004 Holbrook Mitchell Trio
Cranberry sauce: 2005 Richard Sauret Zinfandel
Green bean casserole: 2005 Heritage Clones Petite Sirah
Sweet potatoes: 2005 SF Bay Mourvedre, 2005 Santa Barbara Roussanne
With marshmallows: 2006 Chateau la Paws Côte du Bone Blanc
Breads (buttery biscuits and such): Preston Marsanne

Can’t forget dessert, though you might be eating it the next day

Pumpkin pie: 2005 North Coast Muscat Canelli
Pecan pie: 2004 Zinfandel Port
Sweet potato pie: NV Late-Harvest Viognier
Chocolate (almost anything): 2005 Hendry Zin, 2004 Syrah Port, NV Désirée

The top three choices for being most versatile:
