Francis Wyatt and I recently attended an wine expo organized by one of the local distributors which featured many wines on special discount. Our goal was to find some great value wines for Thanksgiving. Here's what we came up with:

• A dry organic Gewurtztraminer from Mendocino County CA we got on sale for $9.99
• A semi-dry Riesling from the Finger Lakes –not sweet with plenty of tartness -- also at a discounted price of $11.99
• A very special sparkling wine from Mendoza Argentina made from Malbec & Pinot Noir grapes for $14.99
• And guaranteed to be Turkey friendly: a local Cranberry wine made here in Vermont for $16.99

Come early to make sure you get the wine you want at the best price.
