Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hello again, Welcome to Connoisseurs Goinger. I'm Jordan and joining
me Ken Hoggins of Ken's Wine Guide dot Com. We're
obviously talking about wines today and Ken won't be long.
Thanksgiving is coming, So how about some suggestion.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yeah, I like to tell folks to drink what they like,
and there are plenty of recommended categories for Thanksgiving Reesling
of Rge, Demeanor, Shennon blanc, z Infidel, Pino Noir. I
have tons of those favorites on the website, which you
can just drop down in the white wines category or
the red wines category and find them. But I like
Shennon blanc in general. I think it's a great grape

(00:36):
to consider for Thanksgiving. I have lots of them on
the website, so you can check out the list there.
There's plenty of winners from producers like pax Leo, Stein,
Dry Creek Cellars, Kolera, and Rat's Family from South Africa.
There's something for everyone. Shennon Blanc in general is versatile
and food friendly, and as a result, it'd be a
nice weight option for Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
And I hear you have one more suggestion for us.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, and being a little bit more specific, I got
a twenty twenty three Davis buyingham peanut noir from Russian River.
You can find this gem in the low twenty range,
and it's a steal for a pino noir. We scored
a ninety three plus points. Very smooth and seamless, some
cherry and black plum flavors in there, with some mild licorice,
polished fine tannins that to go great with the cranberry.
And it's very affordable and very nice and everybody's.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Going to like it all right, Thank you. Ken More
from mister Hoggins coming up. Kenswineguide dot com is where
you want to check it out. All part of Connoisseur's
