It’s not too dry, which is perfect because if there’s any sweetness on your plate at Thanksgiving, Riesling can come off too tart. But some of our Estate and any of our Kabinett or Spätlese wines would be wonderful on your Thanksgiving table.

The Vouvray has a subtle kiss of fruitiness to its luxurious texture. Crystalline Chenin Blanc from a special family of grape growers. Very good with turkey, especially if the condiments (yams, fruit salads, cornbread stuffing) have a little sweetness in them.

Balivet Bugey-Cerdon Sparkling
The Bugey Cerdon is a little-known sparkling wine specialty located between Burgundy and the Alps. The grape is Gamay, and a little fruitiness is left in the light red-colored wine, providing a delicious and delightfully light counterpart to a very heavy meal.
