Red Wine

Pinot Noir and Burgundy

The versatility and high acidity of many pinot noir varieties make it a fantastic complement to your thanksgiving feast or Christmas roast turkey. Pinot is a wine made for camouflage, the softer tannins and taste offering a medium body that works with everything, from classic cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes, to heavier fried turkey, and even pecan pie.
