Ah, shopping on the day before Thanksgiving. The crowd makes it a stressful experience even if you know what you want - add having to make a wine choice while you're there and the whole thing can be come miserable.
So you are going to have a house full of guests and you know that everyone is going to arrive starving and looking for a something to drink. What better way to keep Uncle Ned's fingers out of the kitchen then with a drink in his hand?
Lambrusco? Huh? That cloying, fizzy drink? Nope. Cast away your preconceived notions! The 2008 Cantine Ceci Lambrusco "La Luna" is dry, dry, dry. Bone-dry. Sahara-dry. Why is it perfect for the (traditional) Thanksgiving meal? Let me tell you:
Thanksgiving is a holiday of tradition, all the way to dessert. Even when something adventurous is attempted for the last course, a pumpkin and pecan pie tend to accompany regardless.
For many, one of the biggest challenges of a Thanksgiving dinner is the gravy. All too often gravies turn out lumpy, greasy, or just not the right consistency.
