What to serve with a Thanksgiving feast that will please the many palates in attendance? Nothing beats a big, buttery California Chardonnay. The coalescent decadence of this wine and food pairing is memorable. The Mount Eden Vineyards Edna Valley Chardonnay is rich, ripe and opulent and up to the task. Drawn from the Wolff Vineyard that was planted in 1976, this shows the classic Edna Valley style. Layers of ripe apple and pineapple fruit are deftly balanced by butterscotch, vanilla and baking spice nuances from its barrel age. The texture is rich enough and the fruit is ripe enough to balance the varied textures and subtly sweet dishes of a traditional Thanksgiving array.
