On behalf of my entire family, I wanted to say happy Thanksgiving. I hope it’s filled with appreciation for close friends, family and all the wonderful things in your life.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it brings my whole family together to celebrate our gratitude for health, family and good wine!

Each Thanksgiving, we go around the table and express why we’re thankful. This year I’m thankful for a strong and healthy family. I’ll be spending today with my mom, brother, sister, sister’s fiancé, my close friend Keiko, grandmother, uncle, aunt and cousins.

I’m looking forward to pairing the turkey with our Vintner’s Reserve Pinot Noir, which is one of my favorites. I’m also looking forward to making Chef Justin’s Pumpkin Mousse Tart and pairing it with our late harvest Chardonnay.

From my family to yours, have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
