Tanji’s Wine Finds: What to Serve with Your Holiday Feast |
|
The guests are invited, the menu is set, now all you need to do is figure out what you’re drinking! When it comes to Chardonnays, this Joseph Drouhin Macon-Villages Chardonnay ($14) is lovely with refreshing, fruity notes of pear and honeycrisp apple. The wine has bright acidity so it will pair beautifully with cheese, rich cornbread stuffing and poultry (ahem, turkey!). Find this bottle and more of Tanji’s Wine Finds HERE. |
