It's a holiday, so start yourself off with a refreshing mimosa or Aperol spritz with breakfast. You make think to yourself, I won't eat breakfast today because I'm going to eat a huge meal later. Big mistake! Get your body fueled up for the day with a bite to eat. A nice hot Jameson and coffee is perfect for a holiday brunch while watching the Thanksgiving football game!
I put together a cheese platter for our Thanksgiving appetizer, which can also be used for dessert! Perfect for a nice light wine before dinner, a rose, or a sauvignon blanc.
Now, it's time for the turkey! A light white wine goes well with turkey. It doesn't cover up the flavor of the bird. Stay clear of big chardonnays. A riesling, gewurtzraminer, or a lambrusco is great. Pinot Noir is a great choice for red. Serving it chilled is refreshing, and light.
Now, you are so full, you can't possibly eat another bite, and out comes dessert. Pumpkin pie, apple pie, that cheese platter is back. Perfect time for a digestive. I love Fernet Branca, a nice cognac, or a port will make your Thanksgiving holiday meal complete!
