The turkey in its citrus flavored brine
The roasted turkey
A sampling of turkey, cornbread stuffing, and side dishes
Our friend Pierre had brought the wine: a 1997 Beaune Premier Cru Les Teurons Domaine Germain that they had bought at the Château de Chorey while vacationing in Burgundy. The domaine includes a renovated castle with five chambres d'hôtes and one suite, as well as several Beaune Premier Cru vineyards mostly planted with old vines. Les Teurons is a 21.04 ha premier cru vineyard known to produce elegant wines which are round, rich and balanced. The wine had a clear light red color with a fragrant nose of floral and fruity aromas. On the palate, it was well-aged, balanced and harmonious, leaving a light smoky note on the finish.
After the turkey feast, we went for a walk, in order to make room for the dessert: a very yummy pear tart tatin that my daughter had made.
The pear tart tatin: seems crumbly but was actually very yummy

I've been reading and enjoying your bloh for a while now...any suggestion about what wine goes well with spicy Indian food?
Thanks! With spicy Indian food, I would recommend an aromatic white wine. For example a German Riesling if you like wines on the sweeter side. For a drier style, I like white wines from the Languedoc and on the mineral side, Chenin Blanc based wines (Vouvray, Savennières in the Loire valley, or from other part of the world).
