Turkey Wines

I will mince no words. Inviting comment and argument.

There are two wines that are perfect with Turkey: Pinot Noir and Dry Riesling.

A good earthy Pinot Noir will pair perfectly with the vegetables and mushrooms and potatoes and gravy used with turkey. It is not too heavy to cover up the meal, but holds its own well both the turkey itself and nearly all accompaniments.

A good dry Riesling - Alsace and German are my favorites - with just a touch of sweetness in the front palate and plenty of acidity and minerality to compliment the food, is just the ticket for those who enjoy white wine over red with a nice meal.  

While Pinot's can be pretty expensive, they are worth it for this special occasion - and there are several that can be purchased at good value. Try River's Edge from central Oregon - very nice. And, you can find a good Riesling very reasonably priced at any wine shop and many nicer grocery stores.

Happy Turkey Day.
