re: What are you pouring for Thanksgiving?

We are eating in the country and have dinner about 4:30 to have plenty of time to cook and visit. A friend is bringing a sack of oysters and he volunteered to shuck and serve, on half shell and chargrilled on the green egg. I have 2 2008 Williams Selyem Blanc sparkling that we will open with those to get it started.

Someone will bring a couple of Chardonnay to go during the day as well.

I am doing a standing rib and a bone in leg of lamb. To serve with dinner I will open a 2009 Fisher Wedding Vineyard Cab Franc and a 2014 Blackbird Paramour magnum.

My wife cooked braised short ribs and grits yesterday and we enjoyed a 2012 Blackbird Paramour. It is a very nice blend.

Might open a Limerick Lane or a Turnbull depending on how the above goes. This group enjoys and will bring a bunch of good gems themselves so I just may get to hold on to one or two of mine.
