This take on a classic Thanksgiving side looks amazing and delicious! Something to think about as you plan your Thanksgiving feast.

Organic grown potatoes sautéed in butter with onion, garlic and bacon.
This is one of if not the favorite potato dish of all time! I first had them at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse – originally served with only the onion. My waiter that evening recommended that I order them with bacon & I have been doing that ever since. Amazing!

Some leftovers tonight leftover braised beef in a red wine sauce.
Rich robust deep flavors, the perfect comfort food on this cold night.

Tasting Note: This fruit-forward Riesling exudes flavors of sweet pear, honey, and rip peach. It pairs well with salads, grilled fish, cheeses, chicken and pastas with light sauces.

This was a great wine that I enjoyed with a fabulous roasted chicken in a mushroom cream sauce.  Keep your eye open for that recipe coming soon! I’d serve this wine just a little bit chilled and enjoy it now.
