Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is tomorrow! I'm sure many of you are busy making preparations for the big feast and answering important questions such as: cornbread or bread stuffing? what exactly is the difference between sweet potatoes and yams? and who will be forced to sit at the kids table? But have you answered this question: what wine will I pair with the pumpkin pie? 

Fortunately, the Dallas Morning News answered this question for us. Here is a list of 6 wines that will go great with the Thanksgiving staple. The best part is they are all under $30!  

1) Fonseca 10 Year Old Aged Tawny Port
2) Sandeman Fine Rich Madeira
3) Sandeman Royal Corregidor Rich Old Oloroso Sherry
4) Campbell's Rutherglen Muscat
5) Messina Hof Ebony Ports of Call
6) 2000 Warre's Late Bottled Vintage Porto
        

Have a great Thanksgiving!
