🍷 The Perfect Thanksgiving Wine Pairing

Ketcham Estate 2020 Nick's Cuvée

Pinot Noir is a wonderful choice for Thanksgiving because it complements so many traditional holiday flavors without overpowering them.

The wine's fruit character pairs beautifully with tart cranberries, while its balanced acidity complements the richness of creamy Brie and buttery puff pastry.

Whether you're serving appetizers before Thanksgiving dinner or hosting a holiday gathering, this delicious pairing brings a little wine-country elegance to the table.
