Suggestions
Though wine pairing is never an exact science, some will pair more effectively with Autumn cuisine than others.- Chardonnay: Fuller-bodied than most white wines, but mellower than most reds, Chardonnay can be a good match for turkey—a white meat with heft.
- Sparkling Wine: Light-bodied sparkling wines can cut through the richness of Thanksgiving cuisine to make a refreshing counterpoint.
- Syrah and Gewurztraminer: These wines, a zesty red and white respectively, usually have enough complexity to stand their ground with—and compliment—the range of flavors on the table.
