Joe's Picks for Thansgiving




Victory Golden Monkey Belgian-style Ale ($13.99/six-pack)
This balanced and complex beer is ideal for your elaborate Thanksgiving meal. With a golden pour and aromas of citrus, apple and Belgian yeast it’s the perfect match for a big feast. At 9.5%, the high alcohol cuts through the fats and provides sweetness and complexity for this pairing.
This may be the perfect wine to serve this year for you and your guests. This exceptional value from Spain offers richness, complexity and a long finish. The palate displays red and black fruit leading to a spicy finish with nice balance and texture. It is a great wine to compliment the many options on the table.
Burgundy is my go to when pairing white wines with my Thanksgiving dinner. This well rounded wine offers a pale golden color and a slight floral aroma.  The flavors include citrus and pear notes.  It is an extremely versatile wine at a great price point.
