My latest wine column published yesterday in WashingtonExec. It talks about a number of suggested Thanksgiving wines that will please family and friends.
I focus on Bordeaux, Ripasso, Pinot Noir and Zinfandel wines. All are first hand recommendations — if you don’t like any of them, you can leave a nasty comment!
Whatever wine you choose to serve, have a very happy Thanksgiving.
