In order to get to the most wonderful time of the year, we first must get through the long-standing, American tradition of all day football. Oh, I meant to say, Thanksgiving! Appetizers consisting of cheeses, crudites, and meatballs...oh no. Dinner consisting of turkey, stuffing, and smashed potatoes...oh my. Dessert challenging the bird for highest honors consisting of pumpkin pie, cheesecake, and trifles...oh no! And somehow you're supposed to find a wine that will magically go with all of it?
The answer is simple. No, no you don't have to find that one magical bottle that will compliment and capture the delicacies of each meal that will satisfy everyone's palate. My Thanksgiving gift to you. You're welcome.
So what then? you ask. It's easy. Find a light/medium bodied, yet fully textured red (like our Chambourcin Gold for example) and a medium bodied, dry white (might I suggest our Vidal Blanc) to satisfy all of the folks gathered around the table. There is no "right" or "wrong" wine to serve your friends and family this holiday. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes-and-cooking/thanksgiving-wine-pairings-drink-american/index.html
For dessert, a small glass of dessert wine is always a nice compliment to the end of the eat-fest. Take this time to offer a toast to the coming holiday season and maybe even the new year. Raise a glass of our Courtney's Christmas, with its subtle cranberry and accents of cinnamon/clove, there is no other wine that tastes quite like it. Consider serving it chilled or slightly above room temp. Before you know it, your guests will be heading out into the brisk night, thanking you for a fabulous meal and a wonderful evening.
Lost Creek will be open today (11/20) until 5P and Monday (11/21) until 5P.
From all of us at Lost Creek Winery to all of you, we wish you a safe and warm holiday. Happy Thanksgiving!
