Sadly, no more rockstars today

A traditional Thanksgiving feast, turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing/stuffing, a veggie side dish, is so complex with all of the spices, seasonings, butter and cream it’s difficult to pair wines with it. Not to mention that fact the turkey breast and mashed potatoes are quite bland (until the spices and butter) you don’t want of full bodied Cabernet, Merlot or Syrah with dinner. Go lighter, your tummy will thank you later after the desert course!!

So, to that end, today, we’ve come up with five wines that we think hit that sweet spot for your Thanksgiving table this year.



2022, Poggio Ezio, Colli Tortonesi, Timorasso, “Caespes”: The Colli Tortonesi in Piedmont is home to the glorious white grape called Timorasso. From Monte Giarolo at 1473 meters, five valleys and their rivers have formed over the centuries to encompass today’s Colli Tortonesi. A bouquet of stone fruit and white flowers greets the nose, with candied peach notes and a touch of lemon zest dancing alongside a subtle herbal and pine undertone. On the palate, this Timorasso is as lean and sharp as a blade, with tart citrus flavors of lemon and key lime dominating. A limestone note lingers on the finish, a testament to the unique terroir of the Colli Tortonesi. So happy to see this grape varietal get a little lovin’! $336.99/$30.59



2022, Champalou, Vouvray: Catherine and Didier Champalou both come from a long line of vignerons, Catherine represents the twelfth generation in her family to make wine in Vouvray, while Didier, from the Poitou region just to the South, marks the sixth generation of hid family to dedicate his life to the vine. The aroma delivers notes of pear, honeysuckle, quince and apple. On the tongue hints of beeswax, ginger, pear, peach and spice. Note the viscosity of the wine in the mouth. $30.99/$27.89



NV, Lucien Albrecht, Cremant D’Alsace, Brut, Rose’: 100% Pinot Noir. The flavors display nice strawberry and wild cherry fruit, with a touch of richness on the mid palate. It is balanced with dry, crisp acidity and complimented with a creamy texture and long finish. A fine mousse rounds out the wine nicely. Simply put, there just isn’t another sparkling wine that competes at this price point. $24.99/$22.49



2023, Domaine Fabien Collonge, Chiroubles, L’aurore des cotes: The 2023 vintage has proven to be a fine year in Beaujolais, producing bright, aromatic wines filled with strawberry and cherry notes and this wine shows this off brilliantly. From 40-year-old vines on granite, this youthful and bright Chiroubles shows off fragrant red fruits, pretty floral notes and a lifted, crunchy palate that finishes on a mineral and slightly herbaceous note. Highly recommended serving this wine with a slight chill for the best results. $25.99/$23.39



2019, Podere Le Cinciole, Chianti Classico: Le Cinciole’s annata is a perennial overperformer and the 2019 shouldn’t be missed. Despite long ageing before release – first in cask, then concrete, and finally in bottle, it takes time to come out of its shell. Seductive truffle and forest floor slowly waft from the glass then give way to scented lavender, sage and dark red cherry. It flows effortlessly and energetically across the palate, with nervy, citrussy acidity providing the backbone. Chalky tannins are in the background making for an elegant frame. $27.99/$25.19

About Insania - born from Geoff Tate’s deep love of fine wine and European craftsmanship, Insania began as a collaboration between Tate and winemakers who shared his passion for artistry, balance and expression. Originally produced in Washington State’s acclaimed Columbia Valley, Insania has since found a new home at Rinklin Winery, a family-run estate in Germany’s picturesque Kaiserstuhl region, part of the world-famous Baden wine district.

The Rinklin family has been making wine for generations, combining centuries-old techniques with sustainable, modern practices. Their partnership with Geoff Tate brings together Old-World tradition and New World inspiration — resulting in wines that are elegant, bold, and unmistakably distinctive. We will be pouring his 2020 Pinot Noir and 2022 Pinot Gris. Both will retail for $34.99.

From the stage to the vineyard, Geoff’s dedication to storytelling and craftsmanship shines through in every bottle of Insania.

Today's tasting is all about Champagne! Not bubbles, sparklers or fizzies, true Champagne. And we are going to change things up a bit. We will have three sales representatives here to each pour two Champagnes. You’ll get first-hand knowledge of these delicious wines.



First up will be Katie Ghenov from Grape Expectations…

NV, D’Armville, Brut: Pale golden yellow color with plenty of effervescence. The nose is uninhibited, elegant, fresh and complex with notes of white blossoms and yellow fruits. A fresh and generous mouth, fine balance and a long finish with hints of peach,

melon and green apple meat. An elegant and expressive champagne. Mostly Pinot Noir from several vintages. $44.99/$40.49

NV, Charles Orban, Brut, Rose’: The Orban family started growing grapes in the village of Troissy, France, in 1770. At the end of the 20th century, the estate was sold to the Rapeneau family, which had been established in Champagne for more than a hundred years. 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, 20% “other wine”. A deep salmon-color, pretty string of bubbles. An elegant nose dominated by notes of peaches, roses and peonies. Lively on the palate, with initial apricot aromas and a red berry finish. $63.99/$57.59



Next, is Bill Meyer, who owns Sustenance Distributing…

NV, Champagne Alexandre Colson, Grand Cru, Brut, Carte D’Or, Bouzy: Mostly Pinot Noir with about 20% Chardonnay and a touch of Pinot Munier too. Snappy and crisp with persistent bubbles. Ye**ty and bready with notes of lemon, tropical fruits with touches of strawberry and cherry. A rich style of bubbles because of the Pinot Noir. $54.99/$49.49

NV, Champagne Lamiable, 1er Cru, Brut, “Alhena”, Blanc de Blancs: 100% Chardonnay with a nose of citrus and brioche. Pineapple, lemon curd, vanilla and toast intermingle nicely with the fine mousse. With a little air the flavors change to more white rose petal and Granny Smith apple. $61.99/$55.79



And finally Adam Fream from Cavatappi, some old favorites…

NV, Gaston Chiquet, Brut, Tradition, Premiere Cru: 40% Pinot Meunier, 35% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir. Disgorged in May 2019, the latest release of Chiquet's supremely dependable NV Brut Premier Cru Tradition reveals an inviting bouquet of crisp yellow orchard fruit, fresh peach, honeycomb, Meyer lemon and warm biscuits. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and charming, with a youthfully frothy but refined mousse, a succulent core of fruit and ripe but racy balancing acids. It's already drinking well. Both Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator awarded this wine 90 points. $66.99/$60.29

NV, Vilmart et Cie, Brut, Grande Cuvee: 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. Fruit come from the 2019, 2020 and 2021 vintages. The effervescence is calm and regular, composed of fine and dynamic bubbles. It expresses a complex and elegant wine, complete with wild strawberries notes, mango and exotic wood. After a little aeration, flavors of fresh apricot and bergamot show up. In the mouth, it develops citrus notes, then aromas of yellow fruit are discovered. Perfectly balanced on your palate, you can sense a long lasting lemon zest. The finish is beautifully clean, slightly mineral and long. $89.99/$80.99
