Thanksgiving with BV

This Year, Make It a Thanksgiving Tasting!

There’s one very good reason the traditional Thanksgiving dinner has become a tradition. Who doesn’t love roast turkey, crunchy-onion green beans, and an array of wonderfully starchy sides? But if you’re wondering how you can make the holiday your own without upsetting your favorite aunt, try our go-to trick. Serve those cozy classics alongside our BV Thanksgiving wine list. Discovering who loves which wine with which dish is a great way to keep the conversation flowing.

Carneros Chardonnay: Mouthwatering, zesty, and creamy. Aromas of citrus, honeysuckle, and vanilla crème weave into juicy pineapple, white pear, candied lemon peel, white pepper, and brioche toast flavors. 

Reserve Carneros Pinot Noir: Abundant and approachable. Bing cherry, pomegranate, cranberry, nutmeg, and hazelnut aromas lead to flavors of raspberry, black tea, fresh earth, sage, and toasted vanilla. 

Maestro Collection Beaurouge Napa Valley Red Wine: Fresh and vibrant. Aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, violet, thyme, and star anise layer with sweet and tart Santa Rosa plum and warm baking spice flavors. 

Ranch No. 2 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon: Dense, round, and robust. Intriguing aromas of blackberry and black cherry followed on the palate by berry compote, cocoa powder, wild sage, black pepper, and spice.
