You Turkeys!

Nov 16 2007 - 6:30pm
Etc/GMT-7

The annual "dilemma" is upon us. What wine to serve with the Thanksgiving dinner? There are several varietals that we know will go well with the turkey, but what about the sweet potatoes? The creamed spinach? The pumpkin pie? Is there a wine that goes well with the whole meal?

With the national day of Thanks less than a week away from the tasting to come, I thought we would dedicate it to all those poor defenseless turkeys: choose a typical Thanksgiving side dish (or an appetizer configuration of side dish----creamed spinach in phyllo purses?)----and choose a wine to accompany it. This will require no more research than typing in "wines to pair with _______" in your browser, so please, don?t be intimidated, have fun with it! This will be an unpretentious, delicious and hopefully educational evening. The hostess (that's me) will provide the turkey and stuffing.

This event will be limited to the first 20 RSVPs @ the http://wine.meetup.com/213 site and guests (1 bottle per RSVP). When responding, please indicate your culinary contribution (but not what wine you'll be bringing), so we can limit duplications.

Note: Please keep in mind that an RSVP is a social commitment. If you've rsvp'd yes, and cannot make the event, please be courteous and change your response, so others can attend. If you?re not sure, then say maybe? We?ll cinch up the attendees a couple of days prior. The same time you?ll get the address.

See ya there.

Address and phone number will be emailed to all yes rsvp's at the http://wine.meetup.com/213 site 3 days prior.
