Where I live, a good Oregon pinot noir is de rigueur for Thanksgiving...And that's certainly not a bad thing.
I'm also quite partial to the M.Chapoutier "Belleruche" Côtes de Rhone. Really good côtes de rhone for about 10 bucks...And just in time, too, as it seems our government has deemed it okay to like the French again...
A friend of mine is a grad student at Simon Fraser now and has been rubbing it in that he gets two Thanksgivings this year...basmati...

Maybe I'll add some turkey to my ramen and trade the bourbon for a few bottles of Boones Farm!
Maybe one of your friends will fill you a plate and bring it to you. That's what we do quiet often. It's not like there's not plenty of leftovers.

My daughter-in law gave me a bottle of Yellow Tail CAB Sav for my birthday. Sadly, it is nearly gone, and my birthday isn't until tomorrow. Anyway, folks, tomorrow I will be thinking of this tune by the Beatles:cowtime wrote:As I type this I am working on a nice Australian Yellow Tail Cabernet-Merlot. Yummy.

No turkey in the Nickel household. I'm making some lovely harvest-veggie packed filo packets for Thanksgiving this year (along with mashed Yukon Gold potatoes with Rosemary and green beans amandine). I'm thinking maybe a good, dry, Washington chardonnay (much as I hate to say it, California char is too sweet, and lacks the true, oakey, character).

MMMmmmm, Yellow Tail has become one of my favorite marks...cowtime wrote:As I type this I am working on a nice Australian Yellow Tail Cabernet-Merlot.
Yummy.
If you haven't tried Yellow Tail, I highly reccomend you do.
Funny wine story..
My Lodge was having a meet 'n greet before a meeting one evening, and the discussion turned towards wines with different dishes.
One fellow had mentioned having a nice austrailian shiraz with a particular dish, and another Brother pipes up out of the blue, "What are Austrailian Shiraz? They sound good."
Of course this is utah, and wine connoisseurism is in short supply...but nevertheless, we never let him forget it...

I usually go for Zin, but Pinot Noir would be a good one for turkey.fel bautista wrote:Pinot Noir is my pick. My family usually brings Cabs, and I have Pinot on the table waiting. For the life of me, I can't think of a particular vintner except Coppola at the moment.[/b]
Clos du Val makes an incredible Pinot Noir. You may even be able to get it in a magnum.
Another great wine for non-game fowl would be the Pinot Munier still wine from Chandon. But you have to order that one straight from the winery, and I think they are out of it until the next release.
