Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, hands down! Unlike the hassle of Christmas, which includes lighting your house, decorating trees, and endless shopping, Thanksgiving is simple. The day centers around the joy of gathering at the table with your family or friends, sharing a meal, and giving thanks for the good things in your life. If you live in a big city like I do, you can't always make it "home" for the holidays. Don't worry, though—you can still be thankful this year and have your turkey too. Just call your closest friends and, with my help, plan an Ultimate Friendsgiving that you will never forget!
Your gorgeous turkey is in the oven, the mashed potatoes are velvety smooth, the gravy is simmering on the stove, and your table is set to perfection. What’s missing? Ahh – you forgot the wine. Don't let your Thanksgiving dinner be served with the White Zinfandel your "favorite" cousin brought. I have enlisted the help of my friend and Certified Sommelier, Rumesha Ahmed, for some tips to picking out the wine to compliment your Thanksgiving meal and most importantly, keep a smile on your face.
