What the sommeliers uncork after Thanksgiving

wines after thanksgivingOn the day of the big turkey feast, sommeliers have a serious job -- pairing wines with the wide range of flavors, fragrances, and textures of a Thanksgiving meal. However, in the post-Thanksgiving afterglow, sommeliers have a chance to let loose, having fun with pairings with the natural post-Tgiving food choices, which are either 1) Turkey, The Remix, or 2) something completely opposite of anything related to Thanksgiving (I eat sushi for five days straight). The LA Times finds out what kind of quirky, non-traditional picks they make to go with leftovers, or not to go with anything and just to drink. Just a few from their list:
  • 2000 Baltieri "Sortilegio" Amarone della Valpolicella
  • 2004 J.P. Dirler Sylvaner
  • 2004 Dönnhoff Oberhauser Leistenberg Kabinett Riesling
  • 2004 Martínez Fuente "Pucho" Bierzo
  • 2005 Pasil Verdejo
