thanksgiving, me and wine

Thanksgiving is probably the best holiday there is. I can always feel its vibration sometime around the middle of October. It's the best holiday because we pull out our best recipes, and share. My family has incorporated a themed Thanksgiving tradition. Each year we pick a different food type or region. For instance, last year was Italy. We feasted on braised short ribs, made the Italian way....we had sausage lasagna, canoli...all things Italian. Wonderful Italian wines were served; Brunello, Barolo, and Chianti. It was a Italian feast that any Italian would be proud of. The year before that was seafood...lobster, crab, lobster bisque soup and loads of french white wines like Chablis, Chassagne-Montrachet, and Montagny. It was a feast our founding celebrators, the Greeks and Romans, would have been jealous of. I'm not sure yet what we are doing this Thanksgiving. But what I do know for sure is that the glass above will be full of something wonderful, the company will be great, and maybe, just maybe the food will live up to years past.
