What are you drinking with your turkey?

DeKay	It's 50% Carmenere, 25% Carignan, 25% Pais and sees no wood. We are staying home, for the first time in 26 years, and the meal is simple (turkey breast with sage/green beans/mashed potatoes). I have a nice Tawney Port, but doubt that I'll open it. A nouveau would be fun (have not tasted one this century) and as I have to go to the pharmacy (Pavilions) this morning I'll see if they have any in.

That's what you get for getting the Spanish bottling!, posted on November 24, 2017 at 08:34:34

...my late night spelling suffers.

I rarely drink any foreign wines with an overabundance of terrific CA wines here.

Since nouveau beaujolais comes out the Thursday before Thanksgiving, it used to be a holiday tradition with us.

A local wine shop/restaurant has a tasting of 3 or 4 of them beginning that Thursday and we used to try a few and pick the one we liked best - the differences were greater than you would think.
