Thanksgiving Wine Pairings
turkey 
Turkey dinners are traditionally paired with dry white wines like Viognier, but today can even be paired with dry reds like Barrel No. 33, especially if you've got cranberry sauce at the table. But if you're the host, treat yourself and get the wine you like most. 

Here's our pairing tips chart to pair your favorite part of the meal with some of our favorite wines. So the deviled eggs are your favorite, go with a KE Vit or the a Kiepersol Merlot that has the boldness and comforting nose to complement a smoked turkey. I see how I didn't really help you narrow that down, but that's the point...drink what you like and share it with your family and friends.

While we're sharing, this unique stuffing recipe comes from AllRecipes.com and would pair best with our Moscato or Vit. Yum!
 

Pecan and Apricot Sourdough Bread Stuffing 

Ingredients:

1 (1 pound) loaf sourdough bread, torn into pieces

¼ cup butter

1 cup diced onion

1 cup diced celery

1 tsp herbes de Provence

1 tsp rubbed sage

4 ounces chopped dried apricots

1 cup toasted pecan halves, chopped

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

2 cups chicken broth

1 egg, beaten

 

Directions:

1)   Preheat oven to 275. Butter and 11x14 inch baking dish and set aside to bake the stuffing.

2)   Arrange sourdough bread pieces on a baking sheet. Toast the bread in preheated oven until crisp and dry, 20-30 minutes. Remove from the oven to cool. Increase the oven temperature to 350.

3)   Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and celery; cook and stir until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the herbes de Provence and rubbed sage, then stir in the apricots. Turn off the heat, and allow the mixture to rest

4)   Toss the toasted bread and pecans together in a large bowl. Stir in the celery mixture, and then season with salt and pepper. Mix in the chicken broth, one cup at a time. Stir in the egg. Transfer the stuffing to the buttered baking dish.

5)   Bake in the preheated oven until the top is browned, 30-35 minutes.

We do have some extended hours during the holidays though, so if you're wanting to drop by and not sure when our doors are open, please consult our Holiday Special Hours Schedule. Have a fun and safe Thanksgiving everyone!
