…but is cider actually the perfect bev for Thanksgiving?

This year we’re thankful for a vintage that delivered loads of Limestone (!) and reds with depth and structure we didn’t think was possible in Vermont. We’re thankful for grandparents and early childhood educators. We’re thankful for our devoted community of pickers and oenophiles who love Frontenac Blanc as much as we do. We’re thankful for 39” of snow on top of Mt. Mansfield and friends with inspirational and infectious stoke. We’re thankful for grandparents. Did we say grandparents?

Thanksgiving dinner is our favorite meal of the year to pair with. Turkey and taters are a great foundation on which to layer flavor, and from bubbly, light-bodied ciders to bright, cleansing whites and rich, textural reds, you really can’t go wrong. With so many different dishes on the table and plenty of people to share with, it’s worth opening a few bottles for the feast. Check out what we’ll be drinking below. \
