Nice lunch wine!
Pic was from yesterday early evening. Absorbing a small group to come work with us. Celebrated with a nice glass.
I have an 07, 09, and 10 ‘Ten’ coming the week after Thanksgiving. I love Sea Smoke.
Indyscammer
Flush
New one for me. $20 at Kroger. First time they have had it. Softens after about 5 minutes of decanting.

Very light...almost like a Pinot Noir.
Bubbles and German Riesling for appetizers
WS Pinot for the turkey
Thinking some Tawny Port with the pies.

Wine is making a rare appearance at my household today
Did you try a bit before you started decanting?

I just signed for my seasonal wine club order from Grgich Hills Estate in Rutherford. Need to pair something with cranberry Sauce...the only reason we have Thanksgiving.
Our favorite there is Hardy's Sparkling Shiraz. Even better with lamb than with turkey...

I scored big on this order. They made a mistake and I was able to get some of their Old Vine selections at 50% off. We‘ll give your suggestion a try.
I would consider this a tough pairing. I would tend to avoid anything sweet, tangy, or citrus-y because the sauce will already totally overpower it. Aged would be better than young, for sure. I'm thinking Sangiovese here. Or maybe a Cab blend.

I am not a big turkey fan, so we do whole beef tenderloin at my house. Chose this to accompany today. One of my favorite properties for a lot of reasons.

Neat story about the GPL above. A few years ago, I went to my local wine shop, the same day they received a new delivery. I saw this for $35 a bottle. I asked the guy if the price was correct, because ... $35.
He went and checked and said yes. I bought all of them, the entire case. A week or two later I was back in there and he said the price was in fact not correct. I got them for about half price. He had only received one case, not the two he thought he had, and priced them accordingly. Turned out it was his vendor’s error.
Vendor made him right, and he said he was glad I got the bottles, as I was a frequent customer at the time, always picking up new Bordeaux selections.

Okay, folks, it's nice to see a picture of the bottle. But if we're trying to appreciate the wine itself, it would be nice to get a taste description at least. What you paired it with. Why you like it. Is it good value.
Start drinking whiskey. We pretend like we know things in that thread.
