Two very nice Canadian wines with a roast turkey dinner:
- 2012 Closson Chase South Clos Vineyard Chardonnay (Prince Edward County)
- 2011 Meyer Family McLean Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir (Okanagan)
With turkey dinner on Christmas Day:
- 2012 Larmandier-Bernier Terre De Vertus Blanc de Blancs Non Dose
- 2014 Remelluri Bianco
- 2002 Huet Vouvray Sec Le Haut-Lieu
And with turkey leftovers next day:
- 2013 Murrieta Capellania Reserva Blanco
I've never been much of a turkey fan, but I lose that argument every year and I'm the first one to recognise my limitations anywhere near a kitchen. I just do the wine service at Christmas-time.

NV Vollereaux, Champagne, Brut Reserve
2013 Winderlea, Chardonnay
2017 Colene Clemens, Pinot Noir, Dopp Creek
Had never had a Vollereaux before but was impressed for a $30 champers. Would buy again.
The Winderlea seemed a little tired to me. The Clemens was really good and really young.
2013 Herman Story Grenache On The Road. Kinda like Meiomi with an extra portion of Mega Purple. Thankfully a Jean Vesselle Oeil de Perdrix followed it.
