Thanksgiving Day | Thanksgiving Wine Pairing

Give Thanks this Holiday Season

We thank you for your patronage and support! We love to serve our guests and it is our passion to share with you the best quality wine and food you have come to expect from the Lescombes Family.

Thanksgiving Holiday Closure

We have decided to close our locations on Thanksgiving Day. This will allow our hard-working employees to enjoy the day with their families.

Now more than ever, our employees have continually shown up, worked hard, and dedicated themselves to the passion and excellence we strive for. Every day, the experience we are so proud to offer our guests is because of our employees.

We are grateful to each of our employees for the work they do. We are also grateful to all of our guests and wine club members for your support, understanding, and continued patronage.

3 Suggestions for Thanksgiving Wine Pairing

We hope that Thanksgiving will be happy, healthy, and memorable for each of you and your families. To help make Thanksgiving the best it can be, we are offering our suggestions for three wines for a Thanksgiving wine pairing experience we think you’ll love!

A lot of different variables go into what makes a perfect Thanksgiving wine pairing. For our picks, we chose three very different wines. Each one has strengths depending on what you’ll be serving. Also, keep in mind that personal preference also plays a role. When in doubt, drink what you like. But, also don’t be afraid to try something new.

1. D.H. Lescombes Heritage Series Chardonnay

This special wine is a result of many years of perfecting our farming, winemaking techniques, and oak implementation. We use our own highly aromatic Chardonnay grapes from New Mexico’s largest family-owned vineyard.

The flavor profile leans to a lightly creamy texture with notes of bread, almonds, soft minerals, and oak. Because of the processes used to craft this wine, it is highly palatable and perfect with Thanksgiving holiday foods. Secondly, due to its palatable and food-friendly nature, it makes a good all-around pair.

2. D.H. Lescombes Limited Release Renaissance

Our Heritage Renaissance is continually one of our guest and employee favorites. Because this wine strikes a nice balance between velvety fruit and spiced tannins, it is a nice choice for Thanksgiving meals. Secondly, if your holiday meal consists of ham, this red wine creates a pair that can’t be beaten. Since it is a remarkably food-friendly wine, it’ll also play nicely with the rest of your holiday menu plans.

3. D.H. Lescombes Heritage Bellissimo

Talk about a perfect celebration wine! Our Bellissimo makes a perfect pair not only because it’s sweet and bubbly. In addition, Bellissimo is ideal because if you celebrate a New Mexico-style Thanksgiving, it makes a perfect accompaniment. What’s a “New Mexico-style Thanksgiving,” you ask? For starters, try red chile on your mashed potatoes. Or secondly, take it all the way and have tamales and enchiladas!

Whether you are serving a “traditional” Thanksgiving dinner, or introducing a more regional tradition, Bellissimo will fit in very nicely.

In Conclusion

When it comes to wine pairing, it’s an art and a science. There are general guidelines for enjoying the best pairings. But, when it comes down to personal preferences, drink what you like. You can browse our online wine store to see what might fit your taste. No matter what wine and food you choose, we send our wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving!

Dine To Donate | Alamogordo

Benefit for Noisy Water Winery’s employees displaced by the fires in Lincoln and Otero Counties.

Join us in Alamogordo to help our friends in need during this difficult time.

100% of every purchase made will be donated directly to help the 60+ employees of Noisy Water Winery displaced by the fires in Lincoln and Otero Counties.

Time To Help

Our neighbors could use our help. Thousands in the Ruidoso, Alto, Ruidoso Downs, and Mescalero areas have had to flee, many with nowhere else to go.

There is an overwhelming uncertainty about when they will be able to return, or what they will return to.

We are thankful to those who have been able to provide an empty room, home, apartment, or safe place to sleep. We are proudly seeing friends, neighbors, family members, and total strangers gathering up anything they can to help. Sending money, food, water, and supplies to those who need it the most right now.

We struggled to figure out how best we could help. What could we do? Where is our help most needed?

We decided to open our doors at our nearby Alamogordo location for a busy Saturday, and gather every last cent collected that day and donate it. Open our doors up to bring people together for a good cause.

Every payment. All day. 100%.

While we realistically cannot raise enough money to help the thousands of people displaced by this tragic event, we thought we could help our fellow industry members who are struggling. Help those individuals who strive to do what they love every day, just like we do.

Over 60 employees of our fellow winemakers in Ruidoso have been displaced by the South Fork and Salt Fires. At least 20 have already lost their homes.

We know there are so many people that want to help but might not know how just yet. Or those who have been helping, but would like to do more. We invite you to gather with us.

Saturday, June 22nd | Open from 11am – 10pm

261 Panorama Blvd, Alamogordo, NM 88310 - Phone: 575-616-5595

EVENT ON FACEBOOK >>> https://fb.me/e/1DR58gHAz

We are also gathering monetary donations now through Saturday, June 22nd. So if you can’t make it to Alamogordo, get with us at one of our locations.

Sending continuing love and prayers to the Noisy Water Winery family, Jasper Riddle and family, The Village of Ruidoso, Ruidoso Downs, Alto, and the Mescalero Apache Reservation.

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK 2024

It’s been said that teaching is the single most important profession, and we are inclined to agree. Teacher Appreciation Week will be celebrated at Lescombes Family Vineyards locations, from May 6-10. We will be honoring teachers from New Mexico that dine with us during this week with a $10 thank you card valid on their next visit with us. Educators can take advantage of this during the promotional period at our Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Alamogordo, Santa Fe, and Deming locations.

“It’s our annual tradition to take some time and let our community teachers know that we appreciate them and everything they do,” noted Director, Wayne Moore.

It’s not an easy job—with long hours, always changing standards and stressful evaluations. However educators all over the nation overcome these challenges and continue to make a difference in our young people’s lives.

“I remember arriving in New Mexico at eleven years old,” recollects Proprietor, Florent Lescombes. “I didn’t know a single bit of English—and there I was, enrolled in Mrs. Saunder’s fifth-grade class at Alameda Elementary. It was such a supportive environment, within months I was well on my way.”

The Lescombes family and team urge the community to take the time to thank teachers everywhere, whether during Teacher Appreciation Week or simply in daily life in your community.
