It’s time for my 2025 Thanksgiving Day Special! I’ve stuck with using American wines this year. I have two from Oregon and one from California. First is the 2015 Kramer Vineyards “Celebrate!” Pinot Gris. Second is the 2023 Anne Amie Müller-Thurgau. And lastly is the 2022 Trentadue “La Storia” Zinfandel. So a mixture of traditional and not so traditional Thanksgiving wines!
