Now that summer has come to a close and the holidays are fast approaching, it’s the perfect time to start planning your wine selections for Thanksgiving dinner and other seasonal gatherings.

Pinot Noir is an ideal choice for the Thanksgiving table—it complements traditional dishes like roast turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes without overpowering them. Its bright acidity also cuts through rich, buttery sides and savory gravies, bringing balance to the meal.

If you're serving a wide range of dishes, Oregon Pinot Noirs offer exceptional versatility, pairing beautifully across the board. For a touch of elegance, a classic Burgundy is always a welcome addition. Alternatively, California Pinots tend to be fruitier and more full-bodied, making them a flavorful match for heartier fare.

Benchmark recently added several exciting collections featuring a broad selection of Pinot Noir wines. Among them is the limited-release DK Grail Pinot Noir Campbell Ranch 2021—a standout new wine from Dan Kosta, co-founder of Kosta Browne. You’ll also find rare and collectible Pinot Noirs from Burgundy, Oregon, and California.
