White · Medium · Dry
The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.
Why it works with Turkey Roasted With Herbs, Sweet Cream Butter And Sea Salt
Chardonnay's body matches roast turkey and its accompanying gravy.
White · Medium · Off-dry
Lychee, rose petal, and a touch of ginger; medium-bodied, low-acid, and unmistakable. The wine for any cuisine where the spice cabinet did the heavy lifting.
Why it works with Turkey Roasted With Herbs, Sweet Cream Butter And Sea Salt
Aromatic white meets turkey's mild flavor and holiday sides at the same register.
Red · Light · Dry
Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.

Pinot is the Thanksgiving pairing — gentle enough for white meat, fruity enough for cranberry sauce.
Rosé · Light · Dry
Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.

Dry rosé bridges poultry across preparations — grilled, roasted, sauced.
White · Light · Dry
Citrus, cut grass, and a wire of acid. Marlborough makes it loudest; Sancerre makes it most refined. Either way, it cuts cleanly through goat cheese, herbs, and anything with shellfish.

Crisp white refreshes lighter poultry preparations.
Red · Full · Dry
Shiraz's more reserved European cousin — Northern Rhône style, all violets, black olive, and white pepper. Less brawn, more poise; pairs as well with lamb as with peppered duck breast.
Why it works with Herb Butter Roasted Turkey
Syrah brings dark fruit and grip to Herb Butter Roasted Turkey — a meal-and-wine pairing built for slower evenings.
White · Medium · Off-dry
Chenin Blanc from the Loire — runs from sec (dry) through demi-sec (off-dry) to moelleux (sweet). The demi-sec is the cheat code for spicy food.
Why it works with Herb Butter Roasted Turkey
A medium white like Vouvray matches Herb Butter Roasted Turkey's weight — neither too lean nor too plush.
