The only thing better than an Aperol spritz on a warm evening is a batch of them. And it happens to be National Prosecco Day, so I'm coming in strong all the way around. 🥂

Here it is, folks - my Thanksgiving wine recommendations! 🦃🍾🍷🥂
Let's go over this year's selections to go with your turkey day feast:

Sparkling
Naveran Cava - I'm a big fan of Naveran, which uses estate-grown grapes. Grab the Brut Nature for a zesty bubbly that will cut through a rich meal.

White
Do yourself a favor and find a bottle of Vouvray around $20. Vouvray is a white wine from France's Loire Valley made with Chenin Blanc grapes. It comes in a range of styles and sweetness levels, but if you get one that is still and dry, you won't be disappointed.

Rosé
Get it out of your head that rosé is only for warmer months!
Il Poggione Brancato Rosato from Tuscany is full of fresh red fruits, and its racy acidity (from Sangiovese) ensures it will pair well with turkey and most side dishes.

Red
Erath Estate Selection Pinot Noir - Pinot Noir on the Thanksgiving table is a classic because it goes perfectly with turkey & cranberry sauce as well as just about every side dish. It's the quintessential food-friendly red, and PNs from Oregon are no exception.

Sweet
Marchesi di Gresy Moscato d'Asti "La Serra" - this is your pumpkin pie's best friend. Trust me.

Looks like I'm adding Altesse to the list of wines to be on the lookout for! Do any of my industry friends know if it's distributed in GA?

France’s Savoie region is home to Altesse, a grape that delivers an irresistible combination of citrus, florality, minerality and acidity.
