There's one for everyone at the table (via Thrillist)
The first harvest wine from France’s Beaujolais region is an ever-popular guest at Thanksgiving gatherings. Made with Gamay grapes, Beaujolais Nouveau is a young wine that’s on shelves six-to-eight weeks after harvest, and is the most sought-after. It’s light-bodied, juicy, and so synonymous with the holiday, that its namesake release date is a recognized holiday in and of itself.—it’s vast and eclectic with different flavors coming from all directions.
What are the general rules for wine-pairing at Thanksgiving? Rule number one: there are no rules. “Thanksgiving dinner isn’t just about the turkey,” says Devon Broglie, Whole Foods Market Master Sommelier. “There are so many flavors on the table, meaning there are loads of pairing options. Wines should complement not only the food, but the familial, celebratory feeling of togetherness.”
. “Steer clear of bigger reds like Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Zinfandel, which will be too heavy with all that food,” explains Bell.: Pinot Noir is an ideal companion to Thanksgiving dinner. Its earthy undertones play well with the flavors of turkey, cranberry, and stuffing, while highlighting heavier cream-based dishes like mashed potatoes and casseroles.
