Peg's Thanksgiving Wine Recommendations
By Peg Todloski, WSM Wine Buyer
Thanksgiving used to be easy to match wines with, only because the meal was always the same. Well, as we all know, that sure has changed over the years. There are vegetarians, vegaquarians, vegans and those who just don't like turkey. So, what is a girl to do? Get creative! Just cook seasonal foods, mushrooms, squashes, cranberries, use lots and lots of herbs! So, all this really means is not only can you be creative with your meal, you can be creative with your wines. Knock the socks off your guests this year with some wonderfully elegant and belly-warming wines from our wine department.

Here are some fabulous wines that will fit your thanksgiving dinner and make it shine, no matter what kind of meal you are planning this year.

2005 Chateau Pesquié
Les Terrasses Rosé
This Cotes du Ventoux Rosé is a blend of Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah. This Rosé is so aromatic and flavorful, if you tasted it blind you would think it was a red wine. This is a terrific and versatile wine for Thanksgiving dinner. It's rich enough to go with all the hearty dishes served that day, and elegant and fresh enough to match well with roasted turkey. Flavors of bright red fruits like raspberry and strawberry and a fresh, light finish. $11.99

2005 Chateau Pesquié
Le Viognier de Pesquié
This Viognier really packs it in. Viognier has the richness and body to match well with Thanksgiving dinner. It has no oak aging, so the fruit really comes through and makes it a versatile white to have with all the different flavors of this diverse meal. Flavors of lemon zest, tropical fruit, a touch of spice, like ginger root and awesome character. This is a really cool white wine! $15.99

2005 Chateau Pesquié
Les Terrasses Rouge
This tasty French red has been a customer and staff favorite. This vintage is better than ever. It is a rich, dusty red with flavors of black cherry, jam, bacon fat and tobacco. This red will match well with all the hearty, fall flavors of Thanksgiving dinner. $11.99

Sparkling Wine Dinner

Sparkling Wine Dinner
Monday, December 11
7:00 pm - 9:30 pm


Join us Monday, December 11, and explore the amazing world of sparkling wines. What is sparkling wine? Well according to the Oxford companion to wine it is "a wine which bubbles when poured into a glass". To so many people it seems like so much more than just that simple explanation. Sparkling wine, and more specifically, Champagne, has always been associated with a certain class or elegance and almost always associated with the occasion of celebration.

The mystery of Sparkling wine carries on with the amazing amount of different styles it can come in. Just the tiniest hint of effervescence can change a simple white wine into something fun and exciting to drink. Sparkling wine can vary as much as still wine; it can be white, pink, and even red. It can be made in a sweet style like Italy's Moscato d'Asti, or bone dry like most French Champagnes. Other aspects of sparkling wines can vary immensely, like the alcoholic levels and the character and strength of the bubbles themselves. Join us for this exciting dinner and enjoy a vast array of sparkling wines and see just how well these wines match with elegant, delicious dishes prepared by Panzanella Chef, Chris Capron.

The cost of this event is $40 per person; space is limited, so reserve early. Please pay in advance and pick up a ticket for this tasting at either Panzanella or the customer service desk at Weaver Street Market in Carrboro.

New Executive Chef: Chris Capron

New Talent at Panzanella! Panzanella's new executive chef, Chris Capron, brings a wealth of knowledge, experience and energy to our restaurant. This Johnson & Wales graduate got his start nearby, working with Bill Smith at Crook's Corner. Chris says that it was that experience nine years ago that motivated him to go to culinary school. Before moving back to our neighborhood, Chris worked as the Sous Chef with Chef Cindy Hudson, at Ortanique in Coral Gables, FL.

Panzanella's menus will certainly be influenced by Chris's Italian heritage and his philosophy. While he has the experience to appreciate exotic ingredients, Chris believes in cooking seasonally, and using what is local, as fresh as you can get it. He is enthusiastic about the quality of local food, and the integrity and expertise of the people who produce it.

We are very pleased to welcome Chris, and look forward to the flavors that his creativity will bring to Panzanella.
