Thanksgiving Wine Pairings
Arbor Mist Cranberry Merlot
Not too sweet, not to dry, light delicate flavor, pretty in a glass, and
dirt cheap at your local grocery store. We've had this a couple times on
T-day and it goes perfectly. Usually time for a glass or two during
social hour before the cook dings the bell (the cook has a glass also
and is fanning her face in the kitchen.) Less formal years (no aunts) it
might be shots of schnapps :-)
My T-day is on Saturday this year, so I am off to the casino to try
their T-day buffet. Hoping they also serve prime rib...
There is definitely an anti-milk sentiment in the US today-what disturbs
me about it is how many children are not drinking enough milk for their
growing bodies. If you want strong bones good teeth and stable nerves
make them drink their milk. We had milk at every meal and it was the
only beverage besides water in the house. I remember babysitting for a
large family and to pinch pennies their kids drank kool-aid. Horrors!
