Pairing wine with turkey is a breeze. But finding one that also works with the myriad side dishes that crowd a typical Thanksgiving table can be a head-scratcher. You need something that’ll compliment the herbed stuffing without clashing with the marshmallow-topped sweet potatoes, something that’ll stand up to the tart cranberry sauce while cutting through the creamy green bean casserole.
For maximum Thanksgiving pair-ability, experts recommend fruit-forward, low tannin wines with a fair amount of acidity. Which is good news, if you’re looking to drink local this Turkey Day. Idaho wineries have a range of excellent options—from dry rieslings to peppery Rhone-style red blends—that are sure to please those surrounding your Thanksgiving table. The following wines can be purchased from Boise Co-op Wine Shop at the price listed, or direct from the winery’s tasting room.
