Thanksgiving is coming up quickly – November 25th! If you’re thinking about which wines to serve with your holiday meal, we’ve got you covered. Here at Sokolin, we make it easy to find amazing wines for your special occasions and celebrations.
Pinot Noir is a classic, favorite wine pairing for Thanksgiving dinner, and today we’re sharing three of our favorites from the West Coast that will go great with your holiday meal. This fan-favorite varietal is a Thanksgiving staple – it’s very versatile and food-friendly, which is ideal for complementing the variety of side dishes served that day. Pinot Noir has great acidity, low tannins and isn’t overpowering. Here are three of our recommendations that we know you’ll enjoy!

He was also an award winning art student while in college, and each wine has his art on the label.
