Riesling Goes Well With Turkey
Just a reminder, everyone: Wine Blogging Wednesday is December 1, just one week from today. The theme is New World Riesling. Find yourself a bottle before then and post your thoughts about it on December 1 (or email them to me on that date or sooner, if you don't have a blog).
For all my American readers, remember that lots of people (including me when Josh at The Food Section asked wine and wine-heavy bloggers their opinions) recommend Riesling for your Thanksgiving feast. Imagine all the tasting notes you could get from a dozen friends and family around the table!
If you're celebrating America's Celebration of Gluttony, have a good holiday! If you're not, keep an eye out for food bloggers (including this one) posting about their feasts in days to come.
