Thanksgiving Wines 2024
Food is always on our minds when crafting Linden wines. Wine is best enjoyed at the table, and we would like to be part of your Thanksgiving. The flavor diversity of America's classic Thanksgiving dinner demands some creativity with the wines. This festive selection starts the pairing with appetizers, addresses turkey's white meat/dark meat dilemma, and even takes on wine-challenging cranberry sauce.
2018 Petit Manseng is a great greeter wine as it is light and refreshing. With a bracing acidity and a faint touch of sweetness, it pairs with just about any appetizer imaginable.
The richness of 2019 Village Chardonnay complements white meat and mashed potatoes (especially if prepared with copious amounts of cream and butter).
2020 Claret is supple enough to take a dedicated red wine drinker from appetizers through the main course. It has just enough red fruit and herbal notes to tackle cranberry sauce and stuffing.
The 2019 Petit Verdot is ripe and dense. It should be reserved for those who opt for dark meat and rich gravy.
