Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Yesterday in our Thanksgving extravaganza, we offered options on Thanksgiving themed cocktails, drinks that could pass as dessert and a flavored vodka that probably wasn't such a good idea. However, you may still be looking for some things to serve with your turkey dinner. In my family, we tend to go for an assortment of sparkling apple ciders, supplemented by any wine that a guest might bring with them.
For those of you out there with slightly more elevated palates who are looking for some beverage recommendations that are more sophisticated that Martinelli's, here are some spots to check out. Over on NPR's Kitchen Window, Cyrus Musiker writes about a Thanksgiving trial run that he and his wife did a few weeks back. He focuses on American wines and comes up with a substantial lists of wines that work with a turkey dinner with all the trimmings.
I mentioned this on Wednesday in my New York Times Dining and Wine round up, but Eric Asimov did a fun article this week about a tasting he did with some of the NYT food folks. They also embrace the idea that since it is an American holiday the wines should be domestic and they come up with some delicious-sounding selections. If you are planning to eat out on Thanksgiving and would like to order a bottle to go with your meal, but feel intimated by wine service, then over at KQED's blog Bay Area Bites where Michael Procopio posted an article about behave during the wine service dance.
