Restoring the holiday glow at Thanksgiving

Why wait until the end of the year to print champagne to celebrate? The most important holiday of the year deserves a celebration, especially after the first Thanksgiving under the banner of the coronavirus pandemic. And what better way to celebrate these times than with a bottle of sparkling wine? Many people put off celebrating until the end of the year to print out the fizz, but sparkling wine on a Day of Plenty can be a great start to mouthwatering appetizers, carry through the entire meal and accompany desserts.

"Personally, I like to set the holiday spirit with bubbly wine for the Thanksgiving holiday," says Remy Cohen, general manager of Domaine Carneros Estate in Napa, a well-known winery of the past. "It's great' 's combination with a variety of foods, making it a great addition to the Thanksgiving holiday table, which typically features not only turkey but also a variety of side dishes." Cohen suggests starting the meal with classic combinations such as caviar (she favors Tsar Nicoulai, sustainably sourced in California) or oysters, and keeping a glass by her side throughout the meal. "The bright acidity and citrus notes of the bubbly wine perfectly accentuate the richness of the turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes and casseroles," she added, "don't forget the pie." Cheers!
