Set a place for local Kansas City wines at your Thanksgiving table
As you’re planning this year’s Thanksgiving dinner, set a special place for Jowler Creek wines at your table. They're sure to be a crowd-pleaser and will overcome your family wine snob's opinions of Missouri wine (try pouring the wine first, having them taste it, and then seeing their face when you tell them it's made in Missouri and not California or France!)
Here are some of our recommended pairings to enhance the savory flavors of your holiday feast:
Roasted turkey - just released Jowler Creek Chambourcin
The oakiness of this medium-bodied red accents a flavorful helping of both the white and dark turkey meat.
Stuffing – Jowler Creek Vignoles
Vignoles’ bright fruit acidity and plenty of herbaceous character complement the many spices in stuffing.
Mashed potatoes and gravy – Jowler Creek Norton
This hearty red wine will have a balancing effect on this savory side dish.
Sweet potatoes/yams – Jowler Creek Butterfly BlushThis blush’s intrinsic acidity showcases and enhances the complex and slight sweetness of the yams.
Pumpkin pie – Jowler Creek Premium Sweet Vignoles
This wine’s spicy and golden notes complement the pie.
Chocolate desserts – Jowler Creek Nort
The rich flavors of this port-style wine perfectly compliment decadent chocolate offerings on the dessert table.
