The Utterly Not About Thanksgiving Tasting!

Cost: Free

Saturday's Thanksgiving festival from noon-4pm will give you plenty of opportunity to taste and pick out some great wines for turkey and fixings. So Friday we're answering the question: What are you going to drink the rest of Thanksgiving week?

If that's an interesting question for you, then Friday's line-up pouring from 3-7pm offers up some very interesting options! You'll have the chance to sample:

Dom Gael Felix Sauvignon Quincy 1er Confidence 2024 - Just a few miles from Sancerre, but worlds away in friendliness, elegance and value. A snappy, open, generous French Sauvignon Blanc for solo sipping and all kinds of food.

Domaine Les 5 WY Chardonnay Arbois Origine 2023 - France's Jura region isn't large in size, but it's getting more and more attention from lovers of savory, complex, wines. This is all Chardonnay done without oxidization but with plenty of spice and grip to balance the lovely fruit.

Villa Dora Capprettone Campania 2024 - A rare grape from the most volcanic site of all - the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius! Savory, spicy and very complex.

Julien Cecillon Syrah VdF Les Graviers 2025 - Everything you hope for in a Northern Rhone Syrah - except the price and actually being from the Northern Rhone! Meaty and black fruited and blending 20% North Rhône, 40% South of Ardèche and 40% Drôme Provencal fruit.

Secret Squirrel Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley 2019 - Not a new arrival, but an old friend firing on all cylinders in a bold, rich and nicely structured style.

As always all the wines open to taste Friday are on sale and mix/match for any six-pack or more savings. By all means, come by Saturday from noon-4pm to make your Thanksgiving selections. And come down to CBC on Friday, too. Because we don't live by Thanksgiving wine alone!
