Rombauer Chardonnay
Known for its buttery and rich flavor profile, Chardonnay is a wonderful wine to pair with poultry. Rombauer Chardonnay opens up with light aromas of peach, melon, and citrus. On the palate, creamy vanilla meets buttery complexity while bright acidity offers balance and softness. If you’re looking to enhance your entrées with a sturdy bottle of white, this is the perfect pick for your Thanksgiving feast.
Meiomi Pinot Noir
Thanks to its medium body and fruit-forward flavors, Meiomi Pinot Noir is a delicate red wine that won’t overtake your turkey. On the nose, jammy fruit and strawberry are complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and toasted oak, while blackberry, dark cherry, and mocha claim the palate. The soft and velvety mouthfeel pairs nicely with glazed ham, roasted yams, and pumpkin pie.
Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label
Bubbles are for celebrating, and Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label is the crème de la crème of Champagne. Once the cork is popped, expect aromas of pear, apple, and white peach. Fruit flavors continue on the palate with a nutty finish that features a hint of honey. This sparkling wine’s crisp acidity cuts through rich sauces and meats with ease, but it can also be served as an aperitif with appetizers like brie and cranberry puff pastries or deviled eggs.
Justin Sauvignon Blanc
Crisp and refreshing, Justin Sauvignon Blanc pairs perfectly with white meats like turkey and chicken. The clean palate features flavors of vibrant citrus and tropical fruit, while notes of minerality and herbaceous earth give it structure and balance. In addition to the main event, this wine also complements sensational sides like mashed potatoes and roasted veggies.
Justin Cabernet Sauvignon
Justin Cabernet Sauvignon is a consistent favorite for those who prefer a full-bodied red. Crafted in a traditional Bordeaux style, this wine is aged for fourteen months in small oak barrels, yielding depth, complexity, and dark fruit flavors. In addition to flavors of red cherry, blackberry, and plum, the palate also boasts savory notes of dried herbs and barrel spice. Enjoy this bottle alongside red meats, roasted carrots, or a classic green bean casserole.
Frank Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon
Silky tannins and balanced acidity make Frank Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon a beautiful and robust red wine to pair with your Thanksgiving feast. On the nose, aromas of blackberry and vanilla lead into flavors of espresso, nutmeg, and cedar. Though you can easily pair this wine with a honey-baked ham or tender filet mignon, its earthy and nutty notes make this Cabernet Sauvignon a great contender for chocolatey, spice-forward desserts.
Frank Family Vineyards Chardonnay
Hailing from Napa Valley, Frank Family Vineyards Chardonnay features more citrus flavors than your standard Chardonnay. Meyer lemon can be found on both the nose and palate, while the creamy texture is layered with spice and butterscotch. The oak and acidity complement one another, making this white wine a great contender for your main course or charcuterie appetizers.
