Maybe you're already so frozen with anxiety about selecting the wine for your holiday feast you haven't even given any thought to the dessert! I hope that's not the case.
First of all, if you don't have the time or the inclination to get all wrapped up in selecting a wine for Thanksgiving - or Christmas - dinner, just drink what you like. As long as you're with people you love, that's all that really matters.
Secondly, this tip from Roberto Rogness at Wine Expo in Santa Monica, California is too good not to pass along.
Roberto says, "whichever pie you serve, garnish it with whipped cream that has about one part in ten of a nice dessert wine whipped right into the cream!" He suggests using Moscato for pumpkin pie, Sherry for pecan and Porto for fruit or chocolate pies. "Just whip the wine right into the whipped cream!"
That sounds so delicious I may have to try it before the actual holiday arrives. I think I owe it to my guests to make sure it really is good.
Inexpensive choices for these wine pairing suggestions abound. Barefoot Moscato is under $10, and so is Taylor Dry Sherry. Dow's Fine Ruby Port is available most places for $15 or less.
