(Heraldnet) - Thanksgiving is not far away, and a key part of a successful and festive feast is making sure the right wines are on your table. Between roasting a turkey and mashing potatoes, Thanksgiving can be a stressful meal for the host, so not having to worry about the wine will be a relief. With that in mind, here are eight wine tips for making Thanksgiving a successful event. No. 1: Begin with bubbles. Sparkling wine is perhaps the most versatile of food wines, and fortunately for us, plenty of good bubbly is made in the Pacific Northwest. We suggest starting off your Thanksgiving feast with a celebratory toast. As a bonus, it will pair beautifully with most of the food on the table.
