Zig's 2015 Thanksgiving Wine Picks:

Thanksgiving Wine Sponsor: Rosticceria & Eventi

What to enjoy with turkey? What about the perfect pie pairing? My panel of 16 judges tried hundreds of wines and ciders blindly this year together with local fresh roasted turkey to see what really goes. Here are this years top picks for Thanksgiving. Included are brief descriptions of the wine from some of the judges. *Cheers*
