Thanksgiving Wine Pairings

With all the focus on the big meal, which wines should you serve with Thanksgiving dinner? Original Fare showcases some good ol’ American wines to pair with your farmer’s market stuffing. Best in show goes to the Ancestor Blend from Halter Ranch. For something a little sweater and lighter go for a Washington Riesling like Poet’s Leap. For fruit forward fanatic friends, try Sparkman, also from Washington. But if you’re feeling frisky, Channing Daughters has a wild take on a pairing with their Ramato.

What will you be trying this year? Tell us in the comments.

In Original Fare, join Kelly Cox on her weird adventures across the U.S. as she hangs with chefs, hunters, moonshiners and other characters. She’s on a quest, telling stories that cut through the pretty packaging and buzzwords of the foodie movement to make a slice of American authenticity accessible to all. You’ll be inspired as you eat, drink, and cook your way across America. Because life is too short to eat amongst the crowd — it’s more fun to be original. For more, visit theoriginalfare.com.
