Thanksgiving Dinner Wines

Thanksgiving dinner offers a wonderful opportunity to pair a variety of wines with a wide range of flavors — from savory roasted turkey and herb stuffing to tangy cranberry sauce and rich desserts. Versatile wines with good acidity and moderate tannins work best, as they complement rather than overpower the meal. A Pinot Noir is a classic choice for its soft red fruit notes, subtle spice, and silky texture, which harmonize beautifully with turkey and earthy side dishes. For white wine lovers, Chardonnay—especially one that’s lightly oaked—pairs nicely with buttery mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables, offering balance through its round body and bright acidity.

If you’re looking to add variety to the table, Riesling or Gewürztraminer can add a touch of sweetness and spice that enhances both savory and sweet elements of the meal, while Zinfandel brings a bold, fruit-forward punch that complements richer dishes like glazed ham or sausage stuffing. For sparkling options, Brut Champagne or Prosecco provides a festive start and refreshes the palate between bites. Ultimately, Thanksgiving is about celebrating abundance and togetherness, so offering a mix of styles—perhaps a red, a white, and a sparkling wine—ensures there’s something for every guest and every dish.  May we recommend the following:
