Wine For
What wine recommendation would you make for the traditional Thanksgiving meal?
I am looking for a rather inexpensive ($25 max) bottle of wine to take to the family Thanksgiving celebration. I am not sure what will compliment it the best, though. I’d love to get a wine from an Illinois Winery, if possible, too, to help local businesses, but all suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
Here are some good wines that I’ve tried while visiting that area (I’m originally from Indiana):
From Fox Creek Vineyards:
Chambourcin – $13.99
An off-dry red medium bodied, 100% Chambourcin grape wine with great aromas. Will age beautifully. A world class wine. Try it with any meat or game dish. Surprisingly good with light salads.
Golden Fox – $12.99
A semi-dry white blend of French-American grapes with distinct overtones of Vidal and Seval. Very brisk with up front acids and a very pleasing finish. Try it alone or with white meat and fish dishes.
From Lasata Wines, LLC:
‘04 Vintner‘s Select White
(Premium dry white) oak aged with creamy vanilla flavor. A good balance between wood And Wine! $11.00
‘04 Vintner’s Select Red
Lighter bodied , but full of flavor! Wonderful hints of oak & with a little fruitiness. A nice light dry wine especially for those new to drinking drier wines! $16.00
