Wining Your Turkey


With Thanksgiving a few short days away, you’re probably wondering what wine to serve with turkey. It’s pretty versatile when it comes to wine matches. As the dark meat possesses a little more flavour than the white, unstuffed, I like Chardonnay for the white and Cabernet Sauvignon for the dark. Stuffing, however, can really alter the wine match. For traditional sage or herb, Sauvignon Blanc or Cabernet Franc are great. Wild rice works best with unoaked Chardonnay or rosé. If you like chestnut, check out medium-dry Riesling or Viognier. How about Ham? You’ll require a fruity red like Gamay. For oyster, try Muscadet. Sausage sings with Valpolicella and for apple-walnut, medium-dry Riesling or Chenin Blanc. Bon apettit!
