Thanks Giving Wines

2010 Centine Rose from Banfi
Made of a fruitful blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this refreshingly dry rose is a “go-to” option for pre-Turkey dinner. Its aromatic rose petal nose entices you in while its fresh wild berry notes and crisp finish make it an ideal selection to sip as an apertif or enjoy with salads and veggies before the heavier Thanksgiving grubbing goes full force.
Cost: $10/bottle

2009 Votre Sante Pinot Noir from Francis Ford Coppola
If there is a wine that exudes all that Fall has to offer, its this ’09 Votre Sante Pinot Noir from Francis Ford Coppola. Its fall spice characteristics, including cinnamon and clove, immediately impress. Paired with its red fruit forward notes – particularly cranberry — this is the perfect bottle to pair with your Grilled Turkey and Cranberry Sauce.
Cost: $14/bottle
Where to Buy: Francis Ford Coppola Winery
2008 Clos de Los Siete
An Argentinean blend of Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, this wine is not shy about showing its personality! It offers a lot of blueberry juice and currant fruits with hints of mocha and spice that delicately surprise at its finish. Its supple tannins (you know, those things that make the wine feel “chewy” in your mouth) make it a great option for heavier meat dishes like steak and hame that may pop up in your non-traditional Thanksgiving dinner setting.
Cost: $18/bottle
