2025 Thanksgiving Wine Picks

2025 Thanksgiving 🩃 Wine Picks

What wine pairs best with turkey? Enter your White, Red, RosĂ©, Sparkling/Champagne and we also have a đŸ„§ Dessert wine winner too!

Judges gather and taste all wines blind together with fresh roasted ℱDiestel turkey to see what truly pairs best! I will have 15 professional judges this year! We will determine a winner in each wine category, White, Red, Sparkling/Champagne and RosĂ©! There is also a dessert wine category as no Thanksgiving is complete without dessert!

I will be featuring the winning wines each week on my live “Wine Wednesday” radio programs both Wednesday’s, November 19th and 26th. They’ll also be featured on various social media posts from mid-November until Thanksgiving.

The song remains the same with entry qualifications. Entry is $30 per wine and 3 bottles of each wine to be entered for consideration at the blind tasting. Entry can be paid by check or Venmo.

Please remember to include a tech sheet showing the SRP for each wine entered.

DETAILS:

Please send 3 bottles of each wine you’d like to enter for consideration.
