We usually drink gewurtztraminer for Thanksgiving but a few weeks ago on
a trip to New England we did a tasting at the Sakonnet Winery in RI.
The first wine we tasted was their Vidal Blanc and we looked at each
other and both said "Thanksgiving!" We have three bottles waiting and
I wish we had bought more.

What a PITA it is trying to get wine home on a plane these days.
