Thanksgiving Wine Selections

There are so many ways to go with wines for Thanksgiving.  This post is going to give you some direction based on varietals or wine types.  WineGuyMike is going to recommend three groups, light, medium, or full-bodied wine types that will go well with your beautifully prepared Thanksgiving meal.

Light bodied wine types; Chenin Blanc, Viognier, Pinot Grigio or Pinot Gris, Beaujolais, and Pinot Noir.  Within this group all of these are moderately priced except to enjoy a decent Pinot Noir you will need to spend a little more money.  The rest of these wine types if you spend $15-$20 you will enjoy a great bottle of wine with your Thanksgiving dinner.

Medium bodied wine types; Sauvignon Blanc a.k.a. Fume Blanc, and a Sancerre (a French Sauvignon Blanc).  You will be able to find some of these wine types in the $10-$15 dollar range, but if you are willing to spend $15-$20 you may really enjoy the nuances associated with a wine made with a bit more sophistication.

Full bodied wine types; Chardonnay, I’m going to also recommend getting above that $15 range as well.  Chardonnay’s that are just inexpensive sometimes may not be well made and are not pleasant to enjoy drinking.  It may be worth considering spending a little more to enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends.

This list of wine types or varietals will take you down the right path to selecting some great bottles of wine to enjoy with your family and friends this 2009 Thanksgiving.  Your local CVS Pharmacy will have a great selection of wines to go with your dinner.  Remember to watch for the wines that will be featured today at your CVS store, you will find great wine selections at great prices.

WineGuyMike on behalf of CVS Pharmacy’s  would like to wish you and your families a wonderful Thanksgiving.
