The Wine Pig

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

The Wine Pig will return the week of January 4th.

Until then, drink what you love, and love the ones you drink with!

Thanksgiving can be a tricky day for wine pairings, but with a little bit of thought and some good recommendations, you’ll be just fine.

Here are a few of my favorites, all available at the Pig Crestline:

• Fleur Carneros Pinot Noir - 15.99
• A to Z Oregon Pinot Gris - 12.99
• Columbia Crest H3 Chardonnay - 11.99
• Chono Syrah (Chile) - 11.99
• Saintsbury Garnet Pinot Noir - 19.99
• Sacred Stone Red Blend - 9.99
• Leitz Dragonstone Riesling - 16.99

May your Holiday be full of joy, rest and relaxation as you think back on the past year’s blessings.

Happy Thanksgiving from The Wine Pig!

I’m back from a week of high-speed vineyard touring in Northern Italy!

Special thanks to Winebow for a wonderful learning experience. The trip was incredible, and I will share more photos soon.

Stay tuned in the coming weeks for some great values and stories from my trip through Conegliano, Veneto, Alto Adige, Valpolicella and Piedmonte.
