What better way to kick off the festivities than with a glass of our 2017 Brut Rosé and some classy chips and dip? Dazzle your guests with this simple yet fancy snack of sour cream, caviar, and potato chips. With the addition of lemon zest, chives, and white pepper, the sour cream has a bit of a zip to it. Top with a generous amount of salmon roe or other caviar and serve with crunchy, salty potato chips. Our 2017 Brut Rosé really highlights the subtle delicacy of this dish while complementing the saltiness of the fish roe and potato chips. It’s truly a match made in Thanksgiving heaven. (Note: this also makes for a great late-night snack!)

Contrary to popular belief, it’s okay to serve something other than roasted turkey on Thanksgiving—especially when you’re trying out new traditions! There is something to be said about the presentation of a large turkey in the center of the table. Still, you can accomplish this showstopping look with another cut of meat, like an exquisite sherry pimenton pork shoulder. Effortless and delicious, this recipe also takes some time in the oven, so don’t worry—your kitchen will still be filled with intoxicating aromas of smoky meat. With flavors of sherry, pimenton (smoked paprika), garlic, and fresh thyme, a dish like this needs an equally impressive wine at its side. Enter our 2018 Peacemaker. This red blend is produced from our estate fruit and aged 24 months in new and used French oak. With lovely aromas of cedar, nutmeg, cinnamon bark, toasted vanilla, and spiced plum, the palate boasts vibrant flavors of crushed cranberry, pomegranate, and Bing cherry. Richly layered with smooth tannins and balanced acidity, this wine walks the line of fruit and earth and softens the smokiness of the roasted pork. Your guests will be saying, “Turkey, who?”
