WINES TO BE THANKFUL FOR: FREE TASTING TONIGHT

WINE & VINYL WEDNESDAY AT BARRAMUNDI

Drink a glass tonight, pick up a bottle for the feast tomorrow..

Two wines for Thanksgiving Dinner: California Chardonnay, and Cabernet Franc from France..

It's the day before the Holiday Season gets going, and what is on my mind? Wine. Of course. As in what will we drink with our turkey, ham, buttery root vegetables, gravy and cranberry sauce? I think these two wines will fit very well with the vast array of rich goodies waiting to be consumed tomorrow.

California Chardonnay
Why? Well, most people know it, like it, and it's easy to pick up at the local liquor store, to say the least. Ask for a full bodied version with some acidity. This will stand up to those buttered biscuits, gravy, and the different textures and flavors we will (happily) be facing. Other good white choices are Riesling,  a rich Pinot Gris, or even Gewurztraminer..

Cabernet Franc
This wine will be light to medium bodied, with less tannin than many red wines, making it a good choice for turkey. Cabernet Franc will show flavors of cherry, even cranberry, with hints of leather or tobacco. There's often a good balance of fruit and fleshiness, smoke or spice. A wonderful Autumn wine, and one of my favorites.

Don't show up for dinner tomorrow empty handed- let Wine & Vinyl help... Taste both for free tonight at Barramundi! Ridiculously under-priced at $8 a glass.
