Amy's Thanksgiving Table

Champagne Marie Weiss NV

This is the perfect style of Champagne to kick off Thanksgiving brunch or to have as an aperitif before dinner. Bright, refreshing aromatics keep you coming back for another sip, and its distinctively soft bubbles make this perfect a friendly, crowd pleasing choice for Champagne drinkers of all levels. And, at a sweet price point, you won't mind if mom puts a little orange juice in it. =)

AA Badenhorst Family Swartland White Blend 2019

Why I Love It: The Badenhorst white blend showcases what I love most about the Swartland-- the iconic sweet herbal-floral aromas of "fynbos", or the native plant life grown around the vineyards. With incredible texture and body, and vibrant aromatics, this will be the perfect pairing with herb-crusted lamb or turkey and stuffing!

Olivier Riviere Rayos UVA Rioja DOCa 2022

Why I Love It: This modern take on Rioja will be sure to shake things up at the dinner table. With its focus on freshness and drinkability instead of old school oak regiments, the purity of the traditional Rioja blend is on full display. High toned berry fruit, fine tannins, and mouth watering acidity make this medium bodied red perfect for washing down meat and carbs!
