Panther Creek Schindler Vineyard Featured in “Thanksgiving Reds” | Write For Wine
Posted on November 20, 2017 by Margot
Thanksgiving is only three days away, and we’re trying to decide what wines to pour. Do you know yet? Perhaps you’re looking for a good pairing for your turkey feast, or a special bottle to take to a family dinner or an evening with good friends.
Some people prefer whites such as Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling; others would rather sip on reds. Some pair well with turkey or sides, and others are best at parties. There is no right or wrong!
Here are some special-occasion red wines that we recently tasted and consider the Top 10 for our Thanksgiving festivities. They were crafted in Washington state, Oregon, California, British Columbia and New Zealand, with prices ranging from $30-$60.
TOIL Oregon 2015 Pinot Noir ($50)
Saviah Cellars The Funk Estate Syrah ($60)
Saviah Cellars The Stones Speak Syrah ($55)
Quails’ Gate 2015 Old Vines Foch Reserve ($47 CAD)
