Artisan Wine Shop, one of my favorite wine stores in the Hudson Valley, will be hosting a Thanksgiving-themed tasting this Saturday from 3 to 7 p.m.
From the Web site:
"As we said last year, the Thanksgiving meal has its own set of challenges. While in some homes, turkey takes center stage, it’s really all the sides that should be the focus of your wine choice. Stuffing, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce and gravy all duke it out for attention, creating a melée of divergent flavors. Our approach is to focus on wines that offer balance, meaning wines that possess moderate amounts of acid, fruit, tannin and so on, with no one component overshadowing the others.
This Saturday, we’re focusing on U.S. wines, taking you on a tour of a few key American growing regions. Join us as we welcome Peter Zitz from acclaimed distributor Michael Skurnik Wines as he guides us through these prime holiday selections. We will also be making roast turkey and a savory sausage and fennel stuffing to give you a preview of how these wines will liven up your holiday table."
Here are the wines that will be poured: Gruet Rosé Brut Méthode Champenoise NV, Tablas Creek Vineyard Côtes de Tablas Blanc Paso Robles 2005 – Organically Grown, A to Z Wineworks Pinot Noir Oregon 2006, Teira Zinfandel Sonoma County 2005, Nelms Road Cabernet Sauvignon Washington State 2006.
All will be on sale at Saturday's tasting.
