With so many tastes and textures, choosing the right wine can seem tricky. But with a few expert tips from the Monthly Sommelier, you can easily find bottles that enhance your holiday feast and delight every guest at your table.
Before the main course, most Thanksgiving gatherings start with light appetizers like cheese boards, salads, or seafood bites. These early courses call for crisp, refreshing wines that wake up the palate.
Top picks:
Sparkling Wine or Champagne: Bubbles pair beautifully with creamy cheeses, nuts, and salty snacks.
Sauvignon Blanc: Its bright citrus and herbal notes go perfectly with salads and vegetable starters.
Pinot Grigio: Clean and balanced, it’s a versatile option that complements lighter dishes.
Turkey may be the star of Thanksgiving, but the side dishes often steal the show. With so many rich and flavorful elements, stuffing, gravy, and roasted vegetables—a well-chosen wine can tie everything together.
Top picks:
Pinot Noir: A Thanksgiving classic. Its soft tannins and red fruit notes work with both white and dark turkey meat.
Chardonnay: A buttery Chardonnay enhances creamy mashed potatoes, gravy, and roasted vegetables.
Zinfandel: Full-bodied and jammy, it adds depth to hearty sides and glazed turkey.
A plant-based Thanksgiving can be just as indulgent and flavorful as the traditional feast. The key is to choose wines that bring out the earthy and roasted qualities of vegetables and grains.

Grenache: Smooth and fruity, ideal for roasted root vegetables and mushroom-based dishes.

Relax and enjoy: The best pairings come from sharing good food, great wine, and even better company.
