Domaine Carneros Estate Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is one of the best wines for diverse food pairings, which is often the case on Thanksgiving. Between the turkey, sausage stuffing, savory brussels sprouts cooked in bacon grease, and your aunt’s ‘alternative’ sweet potato mash, there’s a lot going on. Sometimes the day is too chaotic to organize a full-on tasting menu so today, you need one wine to rule them all. Domaine Carneros Estate Pinot Noir 2017 is a perfect Thanksgiving dinner companion. Its medium body won’t overpower any food options, and its bright acidity will pair well with a variety of different things. Enjoy your Thanksgiving everyone and remember to be grateful for family, friends, good health, and wine.

This dynamic wine can be enjoyed alone as an aperitif or matched with a diverse group of dishes such as beef, poultry, pork or grilled salmon, prepared in a variety of culinary styles
