Thanksgiving is a day to celebrate around the table with family, friends and (of course) a lot of food. From the traditional carved turkey and creamy mashed potatoes with gravy to stuffing, cranberries, buttered rolls and a slice of pie, there’s something on the menu for everyone. But with all of that rich comfort food, what should you be pouring alongside it? Drinks, too, are an essential part of the meal. Here are some great options to consider:
Sauvignon Blanc
Its acidity and fruit-forward notes make it a versatile choice that complements a variety of dishes, from turkey to cranberry sauce. A nice Sauvignon Blanc is a balanced pairing for just about any food, and the same applies to a Thanksgiving meal.

Riesling
A slightly sweet Riesling can balance the richness of dishes like stuffing and sweet potatoes.
Pinot Noir
Known for its moderate tannins and higher acidity, Pinot Noir pairs well with both lighter fare and hearty flavors.
Zinfandel
This wine’s bold fruit flavors and spice can stand up to the robust flavors of Thanksgiving dishes.
