While some people might not think of this is a tedious task, I really think deciding which wine to serve with Thanksgiving dinner is more than a pain in my behind. There is such a large variety of food with so many different flavors being served that it might seem hard to pair a wine with the entire meal. However, such is not the case with the help of RachaelRay.com, and after reading this article you will appear to be one of the most experienced sommeliers.
For those who love white wine, Rachael Ray suggests a Sauvignon Blanc. Sauvignon Blanc is known for its earthy, herb taste and is great for all poultry, especially with turkey and herb-filled stuffing.
For those who love red rine, try a Pinot Noir. Rachael Ray notes that “Pinot Noir’s fruity character and lack of tannins are ideal for serving with turkey”.
