Wine

If the task of choosing a wine for Thanksgiving dinner this year is yours, our recommendation is Cooper’s Hawk Lux Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is a crowd-pleaser and exactly the first impression you want to make in any situation. It is available to Cooper’s Hawk Wine Club members and non-members alike. As full-bodied red wines go, this bottle offers a high quality that will leave room in the budget for Christmas right around the corner. 

For the best experience, let this red breathe for a short while before consumption – the wait will make all the difference. With time, the dark berry, cherry, and vanilla finish will pair perfectly with all the Thanksgiving staples. The balance of this wine is what makes it a conservative choice for all audiences.

Bourbon

Thanksgiving is different for a lot of people this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it to some extent. It may sound a little tongue-in-cheek, but our recommendation for a good bourbon to go with your turkey and small gathering is Wild Turkey 101. Wild Turkey 101 is a good middle of the road sipping bourbon. It’s one that can be enjoyed the same way a Thanksgiving turkey can. You can have lunch meat turkey sandwiches any day of the week, but Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches the week after Thanksgiving is something special. So is Wild Turkey. 

Wild Turkey 101 is a bourbon that’s high rye content and a bit of heat and spice bring something special to a special day – best enjoyed alongside some pecan pie while watching some football. It’s a well-balanced bourbon that is higher ranking than something like Jim Beam, but not to only be reserved for those “special” special occasions. It’s the go-to for a holiday that happens every year.

Tobacco

After you’re done with dinner, but before the annual tryptophan-induced nap, it’s time to relax. A great post-dinner smoke is just what you need. Scotty’s University Professor, available from pipesandcigars.com, is the perfect smoke for the season. It’s a mild, pleasant-to-tolerable tobacco that won’t ruffle any feathers if you smoke it around your family and friends. From the moment you pack your pipe and light it, you’ll know exactly what I mean when I tell you this medium-bodied smoke embodies Autumn. 

This tobacco isn’t super complex, but not exactly simple either – like a good Thanksgiving dinner. With its medium strength and a bit of sweetness, this tobacco is sure to pair well around the time the pumpkin pie comes out. This will prove to be a nice cap to the end of a nice day.
