Pairing Champagne with Your Thanksgiving Dinner

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving, which occurs on the fourth Thursday in November, is based on the colonial Pilgrims’ 1621 harvest meal.

From pumpkin spice to apple pie, fall is known for its incredible food. But what many people do not know is that many fall foods pair excellently with Champagne! The versatile and unique sparkling wine that only comes from Champagne, France can accompany many dishes that you may be planning to enjoy this season.

Here are some pairing recommendations you can try for Thanksgiving!

Roast turkey – A Brut Champagne, vintage Champagne or even a rosé Champagne pairs perfectly with this traditional Thanksgiving dinner of roast dinner with all the trimmings.

Pot roast – Consider pairing the hearty meal with Brut Champagne – yes, beef and Champagne can make a great duo!

Mac and cheese – Elevate this classic dish by pairing it with an Extra Brut Champagne.

Roasted squash – Try pairing this fall favorite with a crisp Blanc de Blancs Champagne.

 

Pumpkin pie – Try a demi-sec Champagne which has a sweeter profile to pair with this dessert.

Pecan pie – Again a demi-sec Champagne pairs well with sweet desserts.

Apple cobbler – A vintage Rosé Champagne pairs wonderfully with a delicious apple cobbler.
