Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends and football. For others, like me, its about finding the perfect wine pairing to go with a feast.<\/p>\n
Typically, for Thanksgiving feasts those who like white wine will go with a Chardonnay while the red lovers will pick a Pinot Noir, both are nice choices and pair nicely with turkey. Personally, I like a smooth Zinfandel that is on the lighter side so it does not overpower my food–although, most days I like it big and bold.<\/p>\n
I reached out to several local wineries and asked them for a recommendation of what you may want to try this Thanksgiving and break away from your traditional wine buys and maybe try something new.<\/p>\n
The wineries are all within 50 miles of East Contra Costa County which include: Clarksburg, Lodi, and Livermore. The bonus buy comes from Sonoma County.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Bogle Vineyards \u2013 2013 Chardonnay<\/strong><\/span> Bogle Vineyards is located just 40 miles north of East Contra Costa up Highway 160 in Clarksburg and offers a fabulous 2013 Chardonnay which pairs well with the savory flavors of Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n The Chardonnay grapes are grown in Clarksburg and are known for their characteristic apple and pear aromas and flavors. Bogle winemakers have captured these refreshing and ripe notes while allowing them to develop and intensify through stainless steel fermentation. This packs fresh fruit with tones of spicy vanilla and nutmeg. The creamy mouthfeel adds just the final touch on the finish, reminiscent of an apple and pear galette.<\/p>\n Bogle also recommends their Pinot Noir which also pairs well with a Thanksgiving meal.<\/p>\n For more information on Bogle Vineyards, visit them at www.boglewinery.com<\/a>. To visit their tasting room, is located at 37783 Co Rd 144, Clarksburg, CA 95612<\/p>\n <\/a>Peirano Estate Vineyards<\/strong> \u2013 The Immortal Zin<\/strong><\/span> Peirano Estate Vineyards tasting room is less than 50 miles away to the east of East Contra Costa.\u00a0 The Immortal Zin pairs well with turkey and is a nice cost effective choice when purchasing a bottle of wine to bring to dinner–it’s also located in most grocery stores<\/p>\n The color of this wine is truly Immortal. Its rich dark color goes on and on and on. The deceptively subtle aromas of this wine combine red current, raspberries, red cherries, with earthy cedar marrying together to put your olfactory senses into a new dimension. In the mouth, the palate is wrapped in a mysterious, velvety layered mix of raspberry cordial, sweet mouth filling red fruit, blackberry and red current, leading to a lengthy rich mouth filling almost breathless finish<\/p>\n For more information on Peirano Estate Vineyards, visit them at www.peirano.com<\/a>. Their tasting room is located at 21831 N. Highway 99 (West Frontage Road), Acampo, CA 95220<\/p>\n
