This gorgeous #sample from Val d'Oca took us from a toast to start our Thanksgiving dinner, right through the meal and into dessert with homemade macarons.

We were thrilled to get this #sample from KO Brand

I received this beautiful #sample from Vigneto Com

I received this beautiful #sample from Vigneto Communications. This Val d'Oca sparkling rosé next year will officially be "Prosecco Rosé". This new designation was approved this past year and beginning in July 2021 you will see bottles labeled this way.
_____ This wine is a blend of Glera (the grape known for Prosecco) and Pinot Nero (that the Italian name for Pinot Noir). 11.5% abv – 10 g/l rs – $12.99 SRP A little extra motivation to enjoy this affordable sparkling pink wine? This winery is one of the oldest Prosecco producers. This is a cooperative of 600 growers and they are working hard on sustainability goals. They know that keeping the planet and the land safe and healthy means they can continue to make great wines.
_______ Bubbles are always a great pairing cleaning your palate between each bite and making bite taste as good as the first.
_____ This wine was a pale onions kind color. The nose was strawberry and flour dusted rolls. It is effervescent with tart berries in my mouth. Bright and light with an almost imperceptible sweet note.
_____ How did it pair? Spectacularly!
Yes with the turkey, yes with the butternut squash! The beans, our root vegetable gratin, yep! All delicious together. Then the stuffing cups in Canadian bacon? My note said "Yes, yes, yes! And yes that bit of Pinot Nero made it brilliant pulling out the fruit in the cranberry sauce and elevating it on a pedestal.
_____ Overall this wine lifted the food, holding it's own without having to steal the spotlight!

Gratitude! Giving Thanks is what this day is all

Gratitude! Giving Thanks is what this day is all about!
______ It's not your typical Thanksgiving. Michael and I will spend the day together at home. Our table set just for two, we will miss friends we traditionally gather with. Perhaps it's the same for you.
_____ Over the day I'll share our feast and the pairings, but first, I wanted to share with you what I'm grateful for this year.
_____ I'm grateful that in this tough time, I have a home and a husband I love. I don't take those things for granted.
______ I am also supremely grateful for all the people that I am still in touch with from all the chapters in my life. My family was small (I'm an only child), and we moved since my father was in the military. Gatherings with extended family were non-existant. Friends, throughout my life have always become family.
______ So today, I give a shout out to all of you that I love, childhood friends, those from high school and college, summerstock and those early touring days doing educational theatre. My tour families, and then all those I met in that next chapter with A Warm Wish, as I became a part of the Las Vegas community. Finally, there is my Cirque and Zumantiy family. I send all of you love on this extra difficult holiday.
______ May we all take the time today to reach out and tell those we love how important they are to us.

This Thanksgiving, as we rethink our holiday and all the reasons we have to be grateful, we will be pairing with these beautiful #samples.
_____ From @valdocaprosecco a Rosé Prosecco from Veneto and from @kobrandwines two French rosés, one from AIX in Provence and one from Château d'Aqueria in Tavel.
_____ Pink is joyful, and...you get the best of both worlds! Those great acids and lightness of a white wine blended with the fruit and tannins of a red. It's perfect for the wide array of dishes on your holiday table!
_____ Watch for our post tomorrow! #TurkeyDayRosé

Ahh.. Beaujolais Day...the first wine released each year! Go ahead, grab a bottle of this fruity, bubblegum, banana bit of joy!
_____ But beyond today, remember that Beaujolais is so much more. Gamay can be rich and deep or elegant and lean.
_____ When learning the Beaujolais Crus, I wrote this ode to help me remember them...
_____ We wrote a piece back in May of 2020 on Beaujolais, maybe your interest will be piqued and you will go check it out. In the meantime...Les Beaujolais Nouveaux sont arrivés! Santa! #beaujolaisnouveau
