Turkey season is upon us
So I thought it would be fitting to share some wine suggestion to go with your Thanksgiving meal.
Turkey is not a very powerful meat – low in fat and dries out easily. With meat like that, you should try to find a wine that is medium bodied and high in acidity, preferably also fairly low in tannins. Can you guess where I am going with this?
Barbera
Barbera is my go-to when eating Turkey. With it’s high acidity, medium body and freshness it’s perfect for your Thanksgiving meal. Here are some of the Barbera’s available at Vinmonopolet.
Other wines that go well with turkey are Pinot Noir. Beaujolais, and sometimes even Champagne could be the way to go! Many options here.
