Red · Full · Dry
The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.
Why it works with Bacon Maple Turkey
Cabernet's tannin grips red-meat protein and cuts through fat.
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 Bacon Maple Turkey
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 Bacon Maple Turkey
Aromatic white meets turkey's mild flavor and holiday sides at the same register.
Red · Full · Dry
Argentina's signature grape: deep purple, plummy, and remarkably smooth for its weight. Soft tannins and a touch of cocoa make it the dinner-party Cabernet alternative — and far easier on the wallet.
Why it works with Bacon Maple Turkey
Plummy Malbec with grippy tannin pairs classically with red meat.
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.
Why it works with Bacon Maple Turkey
Pinot is the Thanksgiving pairing — gentle enough for white meat, fruity enough for cranberry sauce.
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 Maple Bacon Roasted Turkey
Cut through Maple Bacon Roasted Turkey's fat with Syrah's grippy tannins; this is the pairing every steakhouse leans on.
