No matter how you cook that bird, a rosé offers the kind of food flexibility that enables it to pair well with turkey. This example shows a lovely bright pink-red rose color; intense aromas of assorted red fruits pour from the glass. You’ll find cherries, red raspberries, red currants, watermelon and just a hint of peach and brown spice notes. These same characters are echoed on the palate, which enjoys a refreshing touch of pink grapefruit, enhancing the lingering finish. Good acidity is a hallmark of good, dry rosé, and this one proves no exception. These grapes—Sangiovese, Zinfandel and Syrah--are organically grown (certified) in Mendocino and Amador (Sierra Foothills) counties. Bursting with flavor, this refreshing wine is a terrific value. Foods: Cajun-deep-fried turkey; smoked turkey (both light and dark meat); roast turkey with raisin bread stuffing; Grilled or roasted Cornish game hen; roast chicken; rolled boneless breast of turkey stuffed with sausage bread stuffing; barbecued turkey with a not-too-hot tomato-based barbecue sauce; Other foods: sopressata from E. 48th St. Market in Dunwoody or the house-made finochiona from Pine Street Market in Avondale Estates. Thai dishes, such as chicken or pork with massaman curry.
