With Thanksgiving in mind, we should discuss what works best with the Big Bird. For me, the unique mix of flavors of the traditional Thanksgiving Dinner needs wine that is fresh and vibrant. Aromatic, high toned wines work best, you need plenty of cut to get through all that richness. An absolutely brilliant one just rolled off its temp-controlled container, an electric Italian white wine that is going to be just perfect with the All-American meal.
It’s all in the family at Morgassi Superiore, where sisters, Marina and Cecilia Piacitelli joined their Dad in 1993 at the estate, a farm in Gavi di Gavi, in northwestern Italy. The vineyards are 300 meters in altitude, the highest in area and planted on limestone-laden slopes. The Piacitellis farm without the use of chemicals and do everything by hand, ensuring that their Gavi is wildly aromatic, loaded with fruit and finishes crisp and a mile long.
It’s a great choice for holiday white, versatile, wonderful as an aperitif or delicious with any kind of holiday fare. Better than just about Pinot Grigio we’ve tasted this year, it’s an easy choice for the perfect Thanksgiving white.

This one is a beauty. A great mix of baked apple, mango and papaya with honeysuckle and vanilla. For a top-notch First Growth Sauternes with 95 points – perfectly cellared and stored for 15 years – price tag seems almost nonsensical. $33/375ml or $29.70/bottle when added to case orders. Who’s ready to drink their desert this Thanksgiving?
I understand how daunting it can be each year to get Leflaive into your collection. But, even in its infancy, the 2018 vintage promises to bring something special. It already has Wine Spectator calling it, “an ideal vintage at Domaine Leflaive” and after tasting through the wines last week– I’m amazed.
The Mâcon-Verzé is a stunner and an incredible value. Drawn from nine special plots, and utilizing a combination of steel, cement and oak fermentation that leads to a wide array of flavor profiles. Fresh Granny Smith Apple set against a persistent minerality, refreshing with hints of Meyer Lemon.
Of course, it’s got incredible length and precision and at the price today, is as good a bargain as exists at Domaine Leflaive. If you’re starting or expanding your cellar, this is an impeccable place to begin.
Year in, year out Château Turcaud produces one of the best white wine values in the world. It’s long been found on Michelin-starred wine lists in Paris and we’ve had it at the restaurant since Day 1. If you’ve ever tried this stunning, classic Bordeaux of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadlle, then you know why. The 2019 has just arrived, and it’s as fresh and as delicious as you could want. Enjoy.
Following the super quick sell out of the remaining 2018 vintage, we’re onto a new vintage and to a Chardonnay that is so noticeably fresh and bright. An inviting nose opens with fresh citrus and lemon notes. So juicy and well-balanced- it’s classic Caymus, rich and hedonistic with a wonderful creaminess. The first of the 2019 vintage is here and it is a doozy. Don’t wait too long to get your hands on these. We know they go quickly!
