Even when the dinner is simple, pairing wine with food can be difficult. Selecting an appropriate wine for a holiday like Thanksgiving, when plates are piled high with main courses and side dishes, can be downright perplexing.
Instead of trying to match wines to specific flavors or cuisines, look for bottles that pair well with a wide range of foods.
It is almost impossible to tell the best wine for anything, but when it comes to Thanksgiving, you'll need wines that will cover the entire meal.
In our experience, drinking what you enjoy is the best option. Remember, you don't need an expensive bottle to celebrate this distinctively American special day.
We have curated some of our best wines for you to consider before Thanksgiving, ranging from budget-friendly options to luxurious delights.
Duckhorn Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
This red wine exemplifies the classic characteristics of Cabernet Sauvignon, boasting a rich and full-bodied profile with velvety tannins.

Honig Vineyard & Winery Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2017 Honig Cabernet Sauvignon starts with lively blackberry, red plum, and raspberry flavors, complemented by hints of cranberry, black tea, spice, and coriander seed.
With a rich and well-balanced profile, featuring toasty oak and a lingering finish, it is a fantastic wine for Thanksgiving.
Kendall Jackson Pinot Noir

Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio
This dry wine has intense aromas and delicious Golden Delicious apples and citrus flavors. It has a long, multi-layered finish. It's excellent as an aperitif and has a medium body, making it versatile for pairing with salads, chicken, or grilled fish. It is a great white wine for Thanksgiving dinner.
Grgich Hills Chardonnay Napa Valley 2019
This Chardonnay entices you with aromas of fresh peach, Asian pear, citrus, and honeycomb to delight your senses.
The flavors are just as complex, with delightful undertones of red pepper and Madagascar vanilla, followed by fresh lemon, green apple, wildflower honey, stone fruit, and a hint of lavender.
The rich, dense texture is balanced by its juicy acidity, leading to great minerality and a long, satisfying finish.
Portlandia Pinot Gris
Portlandia Pinot Gris is dry and crisp. It has lively aromas of Meyer lemon and pear, leading to delicious flavors of apricot and nectarine. Smooth and refreshing, with zippy acidity and rich minerality, it ends with a lively, lingering finish.
