Okay, who's serving wine with their turkey?

If you are, what kind of wine are you serving? A nice Sangiovese, perhaps a Petit Syrah, or are you sticking with the traditional white wines like Chardonnay?

Are you trying something different tonight? If so, what are you serving?

 

No wine here....my 7 year old doesn't like it

 

I have am doing 2 reds, 2 whites. 1 Napa Chardonnay, 1 Argentinian Torrontes, 1 Australian Shiraz, and 1 Chilean Carmenere.

Interesting. Which Napa Chardonnay are you serving? I'm just finishing my first bottle of Michelini Chardonnay, and going to move on to Pinot soon, I think. Depends on when my guests arrive.

 

Shiraz. My favorite wine.

 

It's called Bedarra. My gf's boss started the winery a year or so ago, and so she brought a couple of bottles home. It's decent - I'm not a huge fan of whites, but it isn't buttery/oak-y like traditional chardonnays - more crisp and acidic, kind of like a pinot grigio. I think it's pretty good for a white, although I'd prefer a good white Muga over it.

Indeed. Barossa Valley Shiraz is one of my favorites too. Vintage Wine Merchant in Santana Row usually has a pretty decent selection, at reasonable prices too. Hands down better than most Napa cabs....

just using typical chardonnay to make the gravy, possibly ill drink it with dinner or have a beer, not sure on what to drink yet.

 

Shiraz. And a bottle of Yellow Tail Sparkling White Wine. Ick!

 

Home made Pinot from this year's crush. Still young though.

 

White Wine of China,but no turkey

I always like to sample one or two of this year's Nouveau Beaujolais while things are getting prepped, this year we followed that up with a nice Chard and a Merlot at dinner.

 

for the kids...

 

We enjoyed:

Michelini Chardonnay - mostly my personal bottle, as they didn't show up because of traffic.

Westwood Pinot Noir

Zahtila Vineyards - Zinfandel

Vincent Arroyo Petit Syrah Port

nice combination, plenty of wine, food and conversation with Rallywagon and friends to make for a great evening. I'm off to bed now that I've had at least a bottle and a half. Gotta be up and running tomorrow morning by 7 a.m.
