    Thanksgiving Wines

    Choosing your Thanksgiving wine can be confusing. With so many flavors on the table, no single wine will pair perfectly with your meal. And with so many glasses to fill, this probably isn’t the ideal time to pull out that Richebourg Grand Cru from the cellar. We recommend modestly-priced, energetic, versatile, food-friendly wines — the type of wine that makes a great table wine you can serve with a wide variety of meals.

    Here are three wines, plus a wild card that are all great values and available in-store and on our website. The wines have well-balanced acidity, giving them a vibrant liveliness that will stand up to your Thanksgiving feast.

    Chateau Bois d’Arlene Vacqueyras: Vacqueyras is a fantastic alternative to the better-known Chateauneuf du Pape. It’s similar in build and structure — also predominantly Grenache-based and a powerful wine — without the hefty price tag.

    Podere Ruggeri Corsini Langhe Nebbiolo: This Nebbiolo is essentially Barolo without the same lengthy barrel-aging regimen, which allows the wine to be enjoyed much younger than its prestigious counterpart. Similarly delicate to Pinot Noir but with slightly more bitter, earthen characteristics.

    Chateau Ducasse Bordeaux Blanc: This Bordeaux Blanc is not only suited to classic holiday fare, but it’s elegant and aromatic, making it a perfect apéritif any time of the year. A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, the wine greets you with herbaceous notes and finishes with satisfying floral and grassy flavors.

    Please Just Choose for Me: You have enough to do and we are happy to help! Just choose your region, style & price point and our wine crew will do the rest. Just like shopping in the store!

    Our Extensive Magnum Collection: In this season of feasts and dinner parties, is there a better way to arrive than with a magnum in hand? Sure, you can always load up on multiple bottles, but little says special occasion better than a magnum — especially when that big bottle ends up being the best drink of the night. Visit our wine department, and we’ll set you up with a magnum that fits your budget and taste preferences. Our magnum selection ranges from casual to premium, including wines from Bourgogne and Beaujolais and a few legendary Champagnes.
