Choosing the perfect wines for your Thanksgiving dinner doesn't have to be complicated!  Ditch the stress, and leave the wine pairing to Robin -- the owner + certified sommelier behind Little Birdie Wine Nest!
 
Rather than trying to match wines to individual flavors or dishes during the holidays, Robin likes to recommend  serving a variety of styles that will compliment the wide array of foods being served (it's a feast, after all!), and wide range of palates that are sure to be seated around your table -- from your "wine snob" cousin, to your grandma who "only drinks red" -- we have put together a collection that's sure to please them all! 

2024 Birdie's Thanksgiving selections include:
 
- Prisoner Wine Co. "Unshackled" Brut Sparkling Rose 
Rose is en vogue no matter what the season, and nothing says "special occasion" quite like bubbles. Plus, dry rose is the perfect pairing partner for Turkey!  Pouring a flute or two as a starter to sip on while the guests arrive will put everyone in a celebratory mood!  This sparkler's profile is driven by floral notes and crisp minerality with bright flavors of ripe apricot, yellow peaches + tart cranberry.  Crafted from Chardonnay + Pinot Noir, and aged 36 months en tirage to ensure the highest quality - each sip features vibrant acidity, and crisp and persistent perlage.
 
- Pierre Sparr Gewurztraminer 
Hard to pronounce but easy to enjoy - think of Gewurztraminer as a "spicier" version of a classic crowd pleasing favorite - Riesling! Pierre Sparr's elegant production from Alsace, France is highly aromatic with floral notes framed by and exotic fruits like lychee, apricot and passionfruit.  The wine is rich an mouth filling on the palate with citrus, honey and festive notes of nutmeg and clove. 
 
- Honig Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 
97.2% sauvignon blanc, 1.2% sauvignon gris, 1.2% semillon, 0.4% muscat sourced from their sustainable vineyard in Rutherford, Napa as well as other nearby vineyards. Bright, inviting floral, pear and citrus aromas lead to a lively and harmonious palate. Resplendent with jasmine and citrus notes that range from grapefruit, to lemongrass and kafir lime, delightfully nuanced by hints of tropical fruit before finishing crisp and refreshing. 
 
- Georges DuBeouf Beaujolais Nouveau 
Every year, on the third Thursday in November, a huge celebration is held Beaujolais, France honoring the "first wine of the harvest".  What better way to be a part of this fun traditional celebration with your family & friends (while enjoying life's simple pleasures and nature's seasonal gifts!) than to include this special wine at your table this year!  
 
Crafted from Gamay (light bodied + most akin to a Pinot Noir) and best served slightly chilled - You'll enjoy vibrant red fruit like strawberries and currants on the palate and an intense perfume on the nose, that makes this fun + fresh red a perfect match for a wide variety of holiday fare!
 
- Beaulieu Vineyards "Tapestry" Red Blend
72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Syrah, 12% Petite Sirah – this is a brand new project from one of Napa’s most venerable wineries, Beaulieu Vineyard (aka BV). Bursting with aromas of ripe blueberry and blackberry with hints of sage, lavender & cedar. Rich and smooth on the palate, balanced by structured tannins and fresh acidity. A well-rounded red easy to enjoy red, perfect to serve when trying to weave a “tapestry of palates” together at any family gathering.
 
- Oliver Winery "Apple Pie" Sweet White
This sweet-lover's Thanksgiving dream wine features fresh-pressed, 100% apple wine (no concentrates!), combining the comforting taste of crisp baked apples, with warmth and gentle, sweet brown sugar and nutmeg spice, and a healthy heap of vanilla 'a la mode" on the smooth finish. Like dessert in a glass, no fork required!
