Whether you’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving alone, or with your family, you’re going to need wine. And Bellflower sommelier Jennifer Lucier has put together three very special holiday packages. Following are Jenn’s notes about what you’ll find in each of those packages. If you see anything that you think would make your holiday better, just visit the Bellflower online shop, place your order, and let us know when we can have your bottles ready for you. [Contactless pickup is available. All Thanksgiving wine packages need to be ordered by November 17.]
The Three Bottle Bundle
“Our 3 bottle bundle gives you the perfect curated package to accompany your Thanksgiving feast. The Krone Brut Sparkling Rosé calls for a celebration with its festive bottle and a bright nose bursting with notes of red berries and buttery biscuits. Let it stand on its own or drink throughout the meal, it will compliment everything from the turkey and stuffing to baked fruit and pastry with dessert. Vegetable side dishes (or main courses!) will be highlighted by the flavors of stone fruits, minerality, and hint of spice found in the Château Les Miaudoux Bergerac Blanc and nothing pairs better with turkey and gravy than a Blaufränkisch. This vibrant, fruit-forward red wine with flavors of cranberries, black currants, baking spices and subtle smokiness will accentuate your holiday bird no matter the preparation!” -Jenn

- Krone Brut Sparkling Pinot Noir, Chardonnay Rosé 2018, Western Cape, South Africa

Start your holiday with some vibrant and fizzy Szigeti Grüner Veltliner before diving into the still selection of whites and reds chosen to pair perfectly with a traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinner and accoutrements. Save the pink bubbly for last and enjoy the Krone sparkling rosé for dessert with your favorite festive pie (or maybe with one last helping of turkey and gravy)!” -Jenn
