As we are quickly approaching the Thanksgiving holiday it is a time for not only celebrating our family and friends, but also for enjoying a delicious meal while doing so. While there are a variety of traditional dishes prepared for Thanksgiving, knowing which wine to serve with the Thanksgiving feast is always a question on everyone’s mind this time of year.
From the appetizers to side dishes to the main feast followed by dessert how can one decide which wines are the best? Personally, I drink what I like. Plain and simple. Although, something is to be said for finding that perfect pairing to marry the flavors of the dishes with the wine. I find it easier to break it up by course. I always go for a sparkling wine or white wine for the appetizers, red for the main course, and a dessert wine to end the meal. Although with so many pies to dig into, the dessert wine selection sometimes gets left by the wayside. Can you blame me?
This week I prepared a mini-Thanksgiving feast to enjoy a wine that I was reminded of at a recent class on Umbrian wines in Boston last month. I also had a bottle on hand at home and it seemed it would pair lovely with a Thanksgiving meal preview. This bottle is the 2020 Madrevite C’osa Gamay del Trasimeno Riserva DOC. You may recall I have featured Madrevite previously with their 2019 vintage of C’osa.
