Back Monday


An excellent Thanksgiving was had by all yesterday, with tons of food, friends, and laughter. And I've got a good bit of food and wine to discuss, but that can wait. For now, listen to Turkey the Dog:

"Curl up with a blanket, watch some movies, and put a serious dent in those leftovers."

Enjoy your weekend, folks. Safe travels to those of you headed back home.

Glad to hear you had a great Thanksgiving Benito, cannot wait to hear what you ate and drank!

Sam,

I tried a few things that I don't normally drink, but frankly Thanksgiving is more about the food and fellowship than anything else.

Bear in mind that by the time the wine was open, I'd been inhaling mesquite smoke for a good three hours. Don't expect detailed tasting notes. :)

Cheers,
Benito

We had great luck with rieslings from Alsace this year and last. They match almost everything except red meat.

Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving to all.

CM,

Rieslings are almost always a great choice for appealing to a wide range of palates. Our wines were mostly white, though I did have one reddish oddball... Details later.

Cheers,
Benito
