Thanksgiving means we get to enjoy the crisp weather and gather with our loved ones to share one of the most delicious meals of the year. A whole day dedicated towards crafting classic dishes and discovering the perfect wine pairings to go with them is one that we are forever thankful for. Not to mention, the gratitude we feel to share that meal and raise a glass with the people we care about the most.

If you’re searching for the ultimate wine pairings to serve at your Thanksgiving meal, look no further than our Six Ridges series. For the main course, the rich mouthfeel and soft tannins of our Russian River Valley Pinot Noir will bring out the full flavor profiles in a roasted turkey or ham. Pair your standout side dishes with our crisp and buttery Russian River Valley Chardonnay. Dessert deserves a rich and excellent finish like the one found in our Dry Creek Valley Merlot.

Pairing our Six Ridges with your feast will surely keep you coming back for seconds, but if you look forward to leftovers as much as we do, try mixing it up this year with our recipe for Cheddar Chives Mashed Potato Waffles. This unexpected take on the classic side dish turns the savory favorite into a full-blown breakfast entree. Simply mix in cheddar cheese and chives, and throw the mashed potatoes into a waffle maker to create this crispy buttery surprise of a dish.
