Frank Family Wines Perfect for the Thanksgiving Table

November 20, 2018December 13, 2021Wine By Marisa Murray

The most celebrated meal of the year deserves equally celebrated wines. We are excited to offer our recommendations for this year’s Thanksgiving table, including some bubbles, a white, and two reds to top it off!

Rouge

Our Pinot Noir based sparkling wine, the Rouge, is bursting with red fruit notes and lively acidity that make it one of the best Thanksgiving matches of all time. Bring on the spice rub, mushroom stuffing, and of course, the cranberry sauce!

Carneros Chardonnay

Spiced apple and ripe peaches open on the palate of our delicious Carneros Chardonnay. The freshness and brilliant acidity in this wine magnify the flavors of all your favorite Thanksgiving dishes and acts as a palate cleanser in between bites of sweet potato casserole and gravy-smothered turkey.

Carneros Pinot Noir

With its baking spices, floral notes, and red berry flavors, our Carneros Pinot Noir doesn’t just work well with traditional Thanksgiving dishes – it’s a seamless extension of what’s on the table. Soft, juicy, and ripe, this wine begs to be paired with harvest salads, roasted turkey, and cranberry pie.

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

If a bold red is what you yearn for on Thanksgiving, look no further than our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Round, rich in fruit, and expansive on the palate, this wine is the perfect pairing for turkey and all its fixings.
