The Thanksgiving wines

We opened two wines for dinner. The Domaine Drouhin was one of the remaining survivors of our 2004 trip to Oregon. It did not disappoint, with rich cherry and cedar and a long finish. I thought it had a port-like nose. The Roger Sabon had a bit more acidity that I thought balanced the heritage turkey well. Both needed a while to open up but were magnificent once they did.

Virginia wines

We opened a couple of bottles of Virginia wines for dinner and dessert tonight. Barboursville makes a wide array of excellent wines, as does First Colony.
