Colorado wines for the holidays
Here are some quick tips on pairing local wines with holiday meals:
Turkey stuffed with sausage or savory stuffing — Pair with the exotic flavors of Gewürztraminer.
Oyster stuffing — Tangy sauvignon blanc, a flowery viognier or an off-dry riesling.
Roast beef, lamb or wild game — Cabernets and syrahs (aka shiraz) from the Grand Valley.
Vegetarian (butternut squash or dried-cherry sauce) — Soft fruity notes in merlot.
Pecan pie — Try with a port.
Pumpkin pie — Delicious with a muscat.
