Dear New York Wine Lovers & Enthusiasts,
Thanksgiving is upon us, the recipes are being planned and the wine is being chosen. This guide will include four wine recommendations, each under 20 bux. The wine selections will be food friendly, economical, and of course tasty. Remember that is important to first plan out your dishes and then select wines that most complement and enhance the flavors in your dish and wine.
I chose American wines that are readily available, at most Wine Shops, and definitely at the Trader Joes Wine Shop in Union Square. So lets salute our United States of America military for protecting our ideals and physical well being. We are all very lucky to be having the luxury to drinking tasty wine and eating scrumptious meals with our close friends, family and loved ones, and owe much of our freedoms to those troops.
