Summary

Thanksgiving is a hard meal to pair wine with but we've got you covered. After a little bit of wine advice about glassware, serving temps, and my annual "Aunt Gertrude" warning, we get into the pairings for traditional (and some variations on traditional) Thanksgiving fare.

We begin with suggestions for wines to welcome your guests, and then move on to:

Wine and food pairings for Thanksgiving appetizers/ hors-d'œuvre
Wine and food pairings for the meats and main courses of Thanksgiving
(my favorite part) Wine pairings for traditional Thanksgiving side dishes

From the traditional suggestions of rosé and Riesling to more adventurous things like Amontillado Sherry and Xinomavro, we give you plenty to think about when picking wines for your holiday gathering!
