Wine Down Thursday: Katie’s Thanksgiving Picks!
Thursday, October 29, from 6 to 7:30 pm
Sampler: $20 per person

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and Katie is sharing three of her favorite wines to bring to the holiday table! Join us this Thursday as we explore a festive lineup of bubbles, bright and mineral-driven Chenin Blanc, and a lively, fruit-forward red. Whether you’re kicking off the celebration or pairing wines with the feast, these bottles are sure to make your Thanksgiving table shine.

Featured Wines:
NV Domaine Joseph Cattin Eléonore Cuvée Spéciale Crémant d’Alsace
Crafted from Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay using the traditional method, this elegant Alsatian sparkling wine offers creamy bubbles, fresh acidity, and aromas of white flowers and green apple. Notes of orchard fruit and minerality lead to a beautifully balanced finish. Enjoy it as a festive aperitif or alongside Thanksgiving favorites, the bright acidity makes it a natural match for the richness of the holiday meal.

2023 Arnaud Lambert Midi Saumur Blanc
From Loire Valley winemaker Arnaud Lambert, this terroir-driven Chenin Blanc showcases the limestone-rich soils of Brézé. Aromas of honey, herbal tea, and fresh lemon lead into juicy pear, vibrant acidity, and a distinctive mineral finish. Elegant yet expressive, it strikes a beautiful balance of freshness and texture, making it a versatile companion for everything from roasted turkey to savory sides.

2023 Scythian Wine Company Revolution Red
A lively blend of Zinfandel, Palomino, and Grenache from old vines in California’s Cucamonga Valley, this characterful red bursts with cherry, cranberry, and black licorice, layered with savory herbs, spice, and a hint of salinity. Medium-bodied, fresh, and delightfully chillable, it brings plenty of personality without overwhelming the plate. Think of it alongside cranberry sauce, where its bright fruit and refreshing acidity will complement the tangy sweetness beautifully.
