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!
