The easiest and the most delectable  way to guarantee a great Thanksgiving
Artisan Vineyards sets the Thanksgiving dinner 
Many ask what to serve on Thanksgiving. Artisan Vineyards' Wine-of-the-Week answers with this year's Thanksgiving Wine Kit offering something for each course and every guest.
 
Perhaps the most pressing question this season is not "what wine goes with turkey?" but rather "what goes with turkey, cranberries, stuffing, green beans, dinner rolls, potatoes, gravy, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, uncles, aunts, grandparents, mom, dad and all the other family and friends around the table?"  No single wine can complement all these -not even the Pinot Noir upon which so many will lean.
  
Artisan Vineyards combines commonsense and exceptional, lesser-known wines into a simple solution; the 2009 Thanksgiving Wine Kit.  Since personal tastes vary and your table will bear as much food as it may hold, it's best to offer a variety of wine that's versatile with the diverse courses and sure to please the broad individual preferences seated around the table.  If that isn't enticing enough,buying these as a kit saves you $10 off of every kit!

Complete selection for Thanksgiving

Giving thanks with wines you're sure to enjoy
 
Greet guests with the charms of Baumard's Carte Turquoise -a delightful, sparkling blend of Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay combining clarity and focus with crisp fruit flavors and a subtle mineral through the finish; this is a perfect aperitif to spark one's appetite.
 
Welcome everyone to be seated to dinner with the organic Evesham Wood 2008 Blanc du Puit Sec.  Blending the best of Pinot Gris with Gewurztraminer, this white speaks in ripe peaches, pears, orange blossom and spicy floral notes sure to compliment the seasonal fare.
 
Gather around the carving table with Steininger's 2006 Zweigelt.  Freshly picked red fruits round out with plump baked cherry notes and lift off the palate with a juicy acidity that dark turkey with cranberry sauce is sure to relish.
 
To cap it all off, raise a glass of Chateau d'Aydie's sweet Pacherenc as you cut into pie and admire the balance of this dessert pour that  suspends pear and peachy sweet notes with a creamy texture and a structuring acidity that leaves you in a reverie of an ideal Thanksgiving dinner.
 
Each contains enough to serve 6-8 people comfortably.  These four wines retail for $77 altogether but they are yours for $67 when you order this week.  To be sure you receive these in time for Thanksgiving, the offer lasts until Wednesday, November 18th.

Reminder of the Wine-of-the-Week overlap:

November 11th is not only Veterans' Day and Martinmas (Saint Martin being the first bishop of Tours and patron saint of vintners) but also the last day to take advantage of the Mount Eden wines at 15% off.  Using promo code 102609 at checkout online will save 15% and help you stock some of America's finest Chardonnays.  Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying...
