Thanksgiving Wine Pairing Guide

Thanksgiving is just around the corner! We thought we'd share some of our favorite wine-pairing suggestions for Turkey Day. We will be closed T-Day, so make sure to stock up some vino by Wednesday! ALSO, now through Thanksgiving get 10% your Luck Dragon Chardonnay bottle purchases!

- THE TURKEY - 
Starting of course with the bird, we suggest the 2015 Invader Tempranillo and maybe a little gravy on the side. This Horse Heaven Hills-grown Tempranillo is fruit-driven with soft tannins that won't take away from the flavor of the bird. ESPECIALLY with dark meat! This wine has the perfect amount of savoriness to handle the richer cuts of your turkey, baked, grilled or fried.   

- THE STUFFING - 
The 2015 Syrah is robust with black cherry and excellent tannin structure, making it a perfect pairing with herbaceous, savory stuffing.

- THE SWEET POTATO -
Sweet potato casserole is, well...sweet!  But it's also rich and delicious. We love to pairing this "sort-of-spud" with the 2015 Wise Man Cabernet Sauvignon! Topping this dish with fire-roasted marshmellows completes the trifecta.    

- THE CRANBERRY -
Whether you prefer canned cranberry or homemade cranberry sauce, pairing with the 2015 Quinn Red Blend is a must! You’ll experience a unique flavor change from tart berry to blood orange!

- THE PIE -
For all the pumpkin pie lovers out there, try your pie with some silky yet crisp Luck Dragon Chardonnay! We want to make sure you're fully stocked for the holiday so now until Thanksgiving get 10% off all Luck Dragon bottle sales.
