Holiday Gatherings...Once More
Earlier this month we held a very successful Holiday Craft Fair & Wine Tasting at the Tichigan Lake Lion’s Civic Center and it certainly got us into the spirit of the holiday season.
Can you believe we are days away from Thanksgiving? At Spirits of Norway Vineyard we want to express our sincere gratitude to our customers and hope that you have a wonderful time with friends and family enjoying each other’s company, maybe an extra slice of pie, and of course lots of WINE!
Selecting the right wines for Thanksgiving dinner can be overwhelming so let us take some of that stress off your plate and offer some suggestions that will compliment your bountiful holiday feast perfectly. You might find that lighter, fruit-forward, easy-drinking wines will best suit the meal. They also might help reduce that sleepy effect from the turkey! Spirits of Norway Vineyard has several options in our portfolio to match your needs.
When guests arrive greet them with a reception wine to kick-start their appetite and compliment the tasty nibbles you might offer. Our suggestions would be: our very likeable semi-sweet, GOLD MEDAL winner Brianna; a true crowd pleaser or Spirits of Norway Vineyard’s newest release, Honeymoon a sweeter style mead with hints of honey, apricot & golden raisins.
Earning DOUBLE GOLD MEDALS at the prestigious 2021 Jefferson Invitational Wine Competition, Domaine du Chateau is the right caliber wine to match the effort you put into your main course preparation. This is an elegant off-dry white wine with a delectable harmony of citrus, apple and pear. A special wine for your very special occasion.
A lighter red wine with moderate acidity to cut through the richness will best compliment a holiday meal. We have just the right wine to do the trick! Ruby a delightful blend of St Pepin, a semi-sweet white and Frontenac, a smooth red wine happens to have a bonus cranberry note finish which pairs perfectly with all the Thanksgiving fixings!
Do you have room for pie? You must try a glass of our limited edition Pumpkin Spice wine! We think you will ‘Fall’ in love with this classic. Served chilled or warmed up with a cinnamon stick, Pumpkin Spice pairs perfectly with a slice of your favorite dessert. The decorative appeal of this bottle of wine also makes it a wonderful gift for your holiday host.
If you’re feeling sleepy after all the effort you made and the effects of the turkey have kicked in then we have a prescription to remedy that with our after dinner wine Mocha Vino. Mocha Vino is the wine of your dreams; perfectly blending flavors of coffee, chocolate and wine into one glass. Sit back, relax and enjoy some time with family and friends. You deserve it!
There really are no rules carved in stone when it comes to the wines you serve with your Thanksgiving meal. The best wines are truly the one’s that you enjoy drinking. We hope that you will choose to invite Spirits of Norway Vineyard to your table and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
CHEERS!!
