Thanksgiving is tomorrow! Thanksgiving is tomorrow! The only bad thing about that is that my favorite holiday will soon be over. I can't wait to stuff my face with
deep fried turkey,
delicious stuffing, mashed potatoes, and my mini pumpkin cheesecakes. So what should we be drinking with this feast? I did some research that I'd like to share with you on this Hump Day.
This Cooking Light article suggests taking a step back to think about the dishes you will be serving. A traditional Thanksgiving dinner calls for a rustic Zinfandel while a Gewurztraminer is more appropriate for a spicier menu. Pair the level of intensity of the dishes with the boldness of the wine.
Bon Appétit recommends trying out a Spanish wine with your meal. The Old World earthiness and New World fruit of Spanish wines create a great complement to a rich dinner. For reds, pick up a Rioja and for white try a Galicia.

And bring on the dessert!
This IntoWine article recommends several different options to go with your pumpkin pie such as an aged Sherry or a Pouilly-Fuisse.
