Bring PPW to Your Holiday Table🍷

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and whether you are hosting a grand feast or bringing a dish to a family gathering, the right bottle of wine makes every bite better. Here in Virginia, our holiday tables are famous for rich, cozy staples—from slow-roasted turkey and savory herb stuffing to baked mac & cheese, sweet potato casserole, and classic Virginia ham.

To help you curate the perfect holiday menu, we’ve put together the ultimate pairing guide using Potomac Point Winery favorites, along with some exciting seasonal perks and host gifts to make this November truly unforgettable!

🦃 Perfect Pairings for Your Thanksgiving Feast

1. Roast Turkey & Creamy Sides with Potomac Point Chardonnay

  • The Pairing: Crisp, elegant, and balanced with smooth buttery depth.

  • Why It Works: Thanksgiving turkey and creamy classics like mashed potatoes, baked mac & cheese, or green bean casserole need a wine with enough acidity to cut through the richness while matching the comforting, savory flavors. Our Chardonnay elevates every bite without overpowering the main event.

2. Virginia Ham, Sweet Potato Casserole & Sausage Stuffing with Cabernet Franc

  • The Pairing: Vibrant notes of ripe red fruit, gentle spice, and light oak.

  • Why It Works: Cabernet Franc is Virginia’s signature red grape for a reason! Its bright acidity and subtle herbal notes pair effortlessly with a glazed Virginia ham, savory sausage stuffing, or sweet potato casserole topped with brown sugar and pecans. It’s a versatile crowd-pleaser that belongs on every table.

3. Rich Meats, Pan Gravy & Hearty Sides with Heritage

  • The Pairing: Bold, complex red blend with deep berry fruit, velvety tannins, and a long finish.

  • Why It Works: If your holiday feast leans toward rich pan gravies, roasted prime rib, or deeply seasoned dark turkey meat, our flag-ship Heritage red blend brings the structure and warmth needed to anchor a festive meal.
