Thanksgiving Wines

By: HJ Cha
A Toast to Togetherness

This year, the harvest scene in the Okanagan is very different.

While some wineries manage micro-harvests, others have none at all, and several are navigating the challenges with help from others in this close-knit wine community. Yet, as we approach Thanksgiving, many are reflecting on the resilience of the vines and the lessons that come with each season's challenges. Even in the face of imperfection, there's a joy to be found as the limited harvest sets the stage for gatherings with loved ones and shared moments. The true focus this Thanksgiving isn't on the bottles but on togetherness. So rather than worrying about perfect pairings, lay out a selection of enjoyable wines and let everyone pick what appeals to them; celebrating good conversation and being with each other matters most. Here's our extended list of the Top 10 wines to please everyone at the Thanksgiving table.
