re: Choosing a Wine for Thanksgiving

I have several David Arthur Merritagio and a couple DA Elevations which I'll open as well as a couple Shypoke Charbono 08. I just got a case of the Shypoke 10 Sangiovese and it needs to cellar (or closet) for awhile. I also received a case of Orrin Swift Palermo which is really nice from the left over Mercury Head grapes. I'm sure it will be in the mix and maybe a Mollydooker Gigglepot.
For white I will defer to better palates but I do have a couple of Kenefick Ranch White I'll open. I have a nice Swanson Rosata as well.

Have you ever asked to see the cellar at the Windsor Court? I think the value of that room would equal what is on the shelves at Martins on Vets.

I actually bought that magnum at auction but have Montebello going back to 1966. I like old wines and am fortunate enough to have plenty of mature wines on hand to drink.

Not discounting sentimentality, but drink them. Then you can tie back the sentimental nature of the wine with the new added benefit of the sentimental recollection of the wine. Keep the bottles.
Not drinking wine is a waste.

MOGAN David, named after the Biblical six pointed star that is on the Israeli flag, it was a shield when first employed. Morgan is the first name of some males, and a tiny bit of females.

Jack Daniels is my favorite wine at Thanksgiving

quote:My hunch is that they're past their prime, so I've pretty much passed the point where drinking them is a serious option. I wrestled with the decision some years back and decided to just keep them unopened. They probably haeve some monetary value, but mostly they conncect me to the period of time when I started collecting wine seriously.

I buy to drink not collect. It's just a mindset. I don't look at what I have as an investment or collection. Just a hobby. Oh...it can be an expensive one but I drink them. I have quite a few that need to cellar awhile but I do intend to drink them when the time is right. That is the fun of it. Whatever I might have left when I drop dead probably would not appeal to more than a small few anyway. I'm a boutique, small vineyard guy. It's the ride, not the destination.

I'll be serving my go-to reds...
Molly Dooker Two Left Feet
Stags Leap Petite Syrah
Will probably pick up some Martini Cab and a decent Merlot as well.

Wine with Thanksgiving meal is always the talk. But one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving is after all the food has been eating, and the first round of guests have left, opening something really nice, and stretching out on the couch while the dishwasher hums.
That is the real magic of Thanksgiving.
Beautiful!

I haven't thought about which wines I'll serve, but I do appreciate this thread.
I guess I'd better start planning...

I'm like a kid in a candy store when Thanksgiving rolls around. I love picking out the wines to match the meal.

We usually have both, but we also have turkey and beef.

with a Cajun style turkey I like a nice dry reisling or a very good Gewurtzraminer
