5 Top Picks For Thanksgiving Day and Dinner

So, let's just set the record straight about what wine to serve to your family and friends: context matters a lot. Most importantly is the "who." To whom will you be serving the wine? Your uncle who refuses to drink anything other than his favorite "brand" Chardonnay? Your 28 year-old hipster kid sister who lives in Astoria? Or your father in-law who thinks any day without a glass of Bordeaux a day is wasted? 

Forget about the wine pairing thing unless you are with a group of wine nerds or sommeliers. 

We recommend serving crowd pleasers. Something for everyone's palate. Here are our top 5 wines for Thanksgiving from West Palm Wine Co.:

2021 Giuliana Negre Langhe Nebbiolo: A lovely and delicate rendition of Nebbiolo. Perfect for those who love Pinot Noir but want to be adventurous. 

2022 Obora Julieas: Gamay is essential for Thanksgiving juice. Light, crowd pleasing and low alcohol. A great natural wine to win people over to the bright side.

2023 Muller-Ruprecht Kabinett Trocken Riesling: Yes, it is Riesling and it is DRY and you don't need to tell anyone because they will love it! 

2022 Valravn Chardonnay: This is for your buttery loving Chard guest. Don't hate. We all got em.

2022 A. Bergere Brut Rose: A fruit-forward, juicy Pinot-based Champagne that would be perfection with Turkey and mashed potatoes.
