Best Wines for Holiday Meals

Now that Thanksgiving is over, can we stop worrying about what wine to serve with dinner?  Food and wine pairing can be a challenge but there’s help at hand from Gayot.com.   The editors have compiled “best of” for a dozen different varietals at varying price points.

Wine types covered are Sparkling wines, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay, Viognier, Rosé, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Blends, Syrah, Zinfandel and Dessert wines.  To see their choices and also helpful hints on pairing with various courses of food, click this link.

Since they didn’t include one of our favorite categories – Petite Sirah – we’ll give you our own recommendation for a highly rated small producer from St. Helena, CA: http://davidfultonwinery.com/ For a list of other producers of this marvelous grape, check out the Petite Sirah Association.
