Charlie's Thanksgiving Table
Lelie van Saron Chardonnay Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley 2021
"This is a richer expression of Chardonnay that will entice both Chardonnay skeptics and life-long fans. A smooth, decadent texture balanced with the right level of acidity makes this wine a must for any sort of potato or cheese-y dish on your Thanksgiving table."
Mastroberardino Lacryma Christi Del Vesuvio 2022
"Light in body and in color, this 100% Piedirosso from southern Italy is - in my opinion - the better Italian alternative to the overplayed Beaujolais Nouveau. Flush with ripe red berries and cherries and a splash of minerality on the finish, this is a no-brainer for any and all things cranberry but can hold its own against stuffing and turkey."
Fronton De Oro Gran Canaria Tintilla 2021
While a high-elevation Canary Islands planting of Tintilla (Trousseau) may be geographically far from classic Thanksgiving, this versatile wine is a hidden gem for holiday feasts. A powerful yet elegant mix of crunchy red fruit and a myriad of cooking spices make this an all-around hit for whatever dishes you do for Turkey Day.
