Up your holiday wine game with nine perfect picks for the holidays.
Chicago sommeliers offer their favorite wines for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Eve : Indigène Extra Brut Crémant du Jura, Field Recordings BOXÍE Central Coast, and Côte de Brouilly Cuvée des Ambassades, photographed on Nov. 22, 2022.
Tried and true favorites for Thanksgiving are lighter bodied, unoaked white and red wines with a firm backbone of acidity and juicy fruit flavors that revitalize the palate — zippy whites like riesling, sauvignon blanc or chenin blanc, or bright, delicately tannic reds like gamay or pinot noir.But taking a different approach, Oscar Salinas, co-owner of Los Naturales, the weekend-only wine shop at the Pilsen bar Caminos de Michoacán, suggests choosing wines to fit certain moods.
For Thanksgiving, Westbrook typically starts off with sparkling wines, but as the meal progresses, “I love introducing orange wines,” he says, describing the ancient style of white wines made by macerating crushed white grapes on their skins until the juice turns amber in hue. “There’s something romantic about drinking in a moment that was so great it needed to be encapsulated in time,” Westbrook says, “and then celebrating that while we recognize the changing of time too.”
For many people, says Salinas, “Champagne can get a little boring — it’s very effervescent, it’s kind of dry, but it all kind of tastes the same.”
