Thanksgiving Pairings

Preparing for the upcoming holiday feast can be a daunting task, not to mention finding wine to complement the meal and guests’ preferences. Fortunately, KORBEL is a great beverage to pair with the flavors and traditional foods of Thanksgiving. There is a wide variety of varietals to choose from and offer guests throughout the day.

We’ve organized a short list of Thanksgiving food and KORBEL California Champagne pairings to help shorten your to-do list, so you can pick the right wine for each course.

Sweet Rosé
This light and sweet bubbly is great to serve with appetizers such as cheese platters, and is the beverage to enjoy while watching football or preparing for the meal ahead.

Rouge
This holiday favorite is a safe bet to pair with Thanksgiving favorites such as turkey and stuffing. The hearty blend pairs well with the rich flavors of the meat.

Extra Dry
This crisp California champagne blends well with side dishes such as mashed potatoes and creamy casseroles.

Chardonnay
This bubbly is the perfect drink to serve throughout the meal due to its smooth flavor, and it pairs well with just about every dish.

Remember, Thanksgiving is about those who are around the table, not what is on it, so have a fabulous holiday, and enjoy this day centered around toasting life with family and friends.
