Personalized Wine Labels & Thanksgiving Wine Pairings from Remember Your Wine
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 30, 2016 -- Thanksgiving, Christmas, & Wine Pairings
As Thanksgiving is already past, most people can still smell the wonderful aroma of turkey roasting in the oven. A beloved holiday that celebrates crisp autumn air, the turn of the season, and so many reasons to be grateful for, it's a special occasion to cherish in the company of family and friends.
No homemade feast is complete without one (or many) bottles of wine. With traditional Thanksgiving menus being based on rich and earthy flavors, what is the best wine to pair with the meal and that will also please a variety of guests?
Take a moment to reflect about recent wine tasting notes experienced and if any bottle particularly stands out as being a top choice to compliment a holiday meal. One might very well already have a bottle in the cellar that says ‘Can’t wait to try this with turkey or Christmas dinner!’ For those who use custom labels for wine bottles, or need to stock up for the occasion, we have a few suggestions for how to select the perfect wines that will beautifully complement any meal.
Tip Sheet for How to Pair Wines for Dinners this Holiday Season
1. A flute of a dry, brut sparking wine is a fantastic way to greet guests and set the mood as they settle in at the dining table. It is an excellent accompaniment to the first round of appetizers and adds a special touch, encouraging the festive mood.
2. Due to its versatility and ability to wonderfully pair with almost any ingredients, Pinot Noir is the safest bet for your dinner table. With Thanksgiving being about excess and with so many side dishes and flavor combinations, keeping a versatile staple on the table is much easier than trying to decide what to pair with each dish. Read the wine labels for a special bottle that strikes a chord, or ask a local sommelier about any wine tasting notes they might recommend. If one looks for a special touch for your decor, consider making personalized labels for wine bottles with custom messages of thanks for guests to enjoy.
3. Prefer to serve a variety of wines throughout dinner? For whites, a non-oaky chardonnay that is fresh and fruity is perfect from start to finish, and a more crisp Sauvignon Blanc will work wonderfully with the main course. Reds can be slightly more difficult to pair due to their hearty and tart nature, but a Zinfandel with spicy notes will make an absolutely lovely accompaniment with turkey.
Thanksgiving is a day to enjoy those you cherish, reminisce and share what one is thankful for. There is no need to stress over finding the perfect bottle of wine. Perfection comes from the happiness of those around your dinner table. In keeping true to the traditional spirit, choose local American wines that highlight wine tasting notes from the varied regions of the country. Browse wine labels that tell a unique story that will be fun to share out loud or select your favorite labels for wine bottles that will compliment a festive centerpiece.
4. Another suggestion that can take the pressure off the host is to embrace the spirit of family-style dinner sharing. Open several bottles and place on the table for guests to choose their own pairings.
But most importantly, Eat, Drink and Be Thankful!
