I want to fill my notes here with "X" puns and descriptors. To wit: I waited too long to drink this bottle; it was like letting an "X" stay around too long. — 9 years ago
I love peppery Zinfandels because they hold up against all of the creamy, richness of Thanksgiving. This one has a sense of humor and I am going to use it to lighten up the "what I'm thankful for" confessional that is bound to happen. — 9 years ago

This is a sweet cider that I don't taste much oak in, but it is still nice and fall-dominant, which is exactly what I want a cider to be. — 9 years ago
Pinot Noir is the Joseph Gordon-Levitt of Thanksgiving. It is traditional, yet shockingly delightful and hard-working. With the earthy elements, this Pinot Noir is a balanced pairing for all of your Thanksgiving food loves from turkey to any starchy or vegetable side. — 9 years ago

This is peachy green pepper. Ok, I have a very strong visual in my head now of a green pepper that is super peachy (read: fine or excellent) when it actually TASTES peachy and like green pepper. I need to be more careful in my descriptions. Dangerous visuals could ensue. — 9 years ago
This next selection is bright and ripe-- and you are going to need this because your palette gets a little numb at some point during Thanksgiving. As a pick-me-up, this wine has cherries and some tobacco notes that I am going to use in that weird purgatory between the main meal and ALL OF THE PIE. — 9 years ago
