The traditional turkey dinner with all the fixings certainly poses a challenge when trying to find the perfect wine to accompany all the flavours of a meal of this style. If your Thanksgiving day feast is anything like mine the table is usually full with an array of flavours laid out on the table for a free for all to be dished out on the plate. My challenge is always finding the room on my plate and in my belly to try everything. And when it comes to finding one wine to go with everything, I say why try one wine when you could have many! A sure fire way to satisfy your guests is to pick some really food friendly grapes, like a crisp Riesling or a fruit filled Pinot Noir. These grapes tend to make wines that will shine with any food. Most of our Nova Scotia wines are awesome food partners and this is the route that I like to go. On my table this year I will be laying down as many bottles of wine as there are side dishes to go with the turkey. There will be many styles of wine to shine, not only with all the dishes on the table but also to satisfy the palates of the many family and friends that will be gathered around the table! I will have whites, reds and roses and maybe even a bottle of bubbly…after all it is a celebration! Here’s what will be on my table this Thanksgiving feast!! (all wines suggested are available at a NSLC near you)
