The Apéritif
Mionetto Prosecco Brut
Mionetto

Delicious on its own, but also a solid complement to refreshing cocktails like the Aperol spritz, Mionetto is a crisp and versatile prosecco that tastes way more expensive than it is.

At a super reasonable price point, this prosecco is the perfect choice for starting off the big meal on a bubbly note. Pop Mionetto as an apéritif and serve alongside creamy Brie cheese and charcuterie to whet your palate before the big meal.

Best with Turkey
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2020
Cloudy Bay

“Mouthwatering” is the word that immediately comes to mind when describing Cloudy Bay’s 2020 sauvignon blanc. A seriously delicious representation of New Zealand’s unique landscape and climate, this wine is “immediately expressive in the glass,” meaning that it is not here to play. It’s intensely fruit-forward.

With lush fruity flavor, lots of juicy white peach and lime notes, and a dry, lip-smacking finish, Cloudy Bay is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. This wine pairs magnificently with turkey.

An Orange Wine
The Wonderful Wine Co's The Orange Pack
The Wonderful Wine Co

If you're new to the world of orange wine, start your journey with this tasty Malvasia Bianca from The Wonderful Wine Co. It's a gorgeous pale peach hue poured in the glass, with ripe grapefruit and melon on the nose and citrus with honey on the palate. It's also an instant conversation starter for anyone at your table.

Juicy yet acidic, this orange wine is super food-friendly and tastes divine paired with roasted veggies and Thanksgiving sides.

Best Large Format
Maivino Sauv Blanc No. 4
Maivino

Behold: The bagnum. This food-friendly sauvignon blanc hails from Washington state's Columbia Valley and has the perfect balance of fruit and acid. It is one smooth sipper, and each pouch holds two 750-milliliter bottles of wine.

It's super refreshing, perfect for storing in the fridge thanks to its nifty pour spout, and a serious game-changer in the world of sustainable wines. Maivino's Sauv Blanc No. 4 is our go-to for having a few friends or family members over for the holidays.

Cameron's Red
Avaline Red Wine
Avaline

Cameron Diaz's new clean wine brand Avaline makes a delicious white and rosé, but their newly launched red wine is what we would recommend for our Turkey Day feast. Light- to medium-bodied, with hints of cherry and spice, this easygoing red tastes best just slightly chilled.

We think it would pair beautifully with your lighter Thanksgiving starters and sides, from prosciutto and melon to roasted beets.

The Fun Red
Underwood Nouveau Pinot Noir
Union Wine Co

An Oregon-style riff on a Beaujolais Nouveau, Underwood's Nouveau Pinot Noir has all of the light, fruit-forward structure of a  French beaujolais with some added fun.

This is what I would call "the fun red" to serve once your guests are seated, since it's light and fruity but not at all overpowering. It will make that tart cranberry sauce absolutely pop. Order it beginning Nov. 19.

A Crowd-Pleasing Pinot Noir
Meiomi Pinot Noir 2018
Meiomi

Wildly popular (and for good reason), this pinot noir is the crowd-pleasing red wine you need at your Thanksgiving table. Comprised of three grapes from California’s coast — Monterey, Sonoma, and Santa Barbara — this wine represents the best elements of all three of these very diverse regions.

A nice balance of spice and fruit, this is also one of the most complex and dynamic pinot noir wines you can buy at this price point. It's super food-friendly and pairs nicely with roasted Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, turkey, and virtually any Turkey Day side.

An Ultra Food-Friendly Red
Hahn SLH Pinot Noir 2018
Hahn

A light-to-medium-bodied pinot noir would be our go-to recommendation for a Turkey Day red wine, and popular Monterey-based winery Hahn is at the tip-top of our personal list. The most food-friendly red wine imaginable, this pinot noir has notes of black cherry, vanilla, and caramel, which makes it a chameleon on the dinner table. Serve this alongside dark-meat turkey thighs and legs, mashed potatoes with gravy, and your hearty stuffing.

This food-friendly pinot noir goes well with virtually anything you're enjoying with your loved ones this Thanksgiving.

If You're Serving Steak
Campo Viejo Tempranillo 2018
Campo Viejo

In case you're serving steak or even ham instead of traditional turkey, you'll want a bigger red with more personality. 

Enter: Campo Viejo's 2018 Tempranillo. At $12 a bottle, this spicy but smooth Spanish red is exceptionally food-friendly and a great value.

This red wine plays nicely with roasted veggies and anything spicy on the Thanksgiving table, too.

For Dessert
Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé
Billecart-Salmon

This sparkling rosé is an absolute stunner in the glass. Wildly refreshing with an intense strawberry aroma and notes of red fruit and fresh pear, this is the perfect Thanksgiving wine. 

Close out your Thanksgiving feast with a glass of Billecart-Salmon. It tastes absolutely heavenly paired with cheesecake, pecan pie, or classic pumpkin and chocolate-flavored Thanksgiving treats.
