Thanksgiving Recommendations

If you didn't grab a copy of the November issue of The Hill Rag then you missed out on our top picks for getting you through Thanksgiving. Don't worry though, as we'll be publishing one every day of the working week till next Thursday, so check back for Josh, Terry, Stewart & Joe's favorites. 


Here are Rick Genderson's. 

Chateau Sociando-Mallet 1982 ($130)
This mature Bordeaux offers up aromas of pure, sweet, roasted nuts, along with mineral-laced black currants. Medium to full-bodied and structured, it’s earthy fruit and complex flavors makes it a real winner at the Thanksgiving table. 


Rodet Rully 1er Cru Chateau Bressande 2007 ($20)
This 100% Chardonnay from Burgundy possesses a ripe apple and pear bouquet leading to flavors of spiced apple and lemon/lime tinged minerals.  Soft and round in the mouth, it works beautifully with the Thanksgiving meal.


Mont Ferrant Brut Blanes Nature Nature 2004 ($20)
This is a top quality Cava from Spain.  It is a delightful sparkling wine with crisp citrus and pear aromas leading to almond, nut and that lovely toasty, yeasty quality that is hard to find outside of Champagne.  It is perfect as an aperitif.
