  1. NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH A BRONX CHEER

  2. 1)NV Tendil & Lombardi brut, rosé de Saignée, Balnot-sur-Laignes,Aube, Champagne, France This beautiful bubbly from Champagne has a lower gravity than most Champagnes (IE, less bubbles), as well as being produced with the method of Saignée (more time on skin and a second pressing , resulting in darker, more flavorful juice). 

  3. Consequently, the aromas and flavor profile provide a fantastic complement to raspberry-accented dishes, while the darker tones and lighter bubbles (and acids) work with both sweet and savory plates.  Mixed greens with raspberry vinaigrette, smoked salmon with raspberry aïoli, duck confit tacos with raspberry salsa, mixed berry trifle, this works with it all.  Wait, did I just plan Thanksgiving dinner ?

  4. 2)  ’10 Sans Liege grenache, Groundwork, Santa Barbara Grenacheis a varietal with many faces, but most have at least a modicum of raspberry on the palate.  The Sans Lege second label, Groundwork, is a more user-friendly food wine than most USA grenache (along with being damned affordable), but has more weight and complexity than most value-priced grenache counterparts from Spain and more fruit than those in a similar price point from France. 

  5. It is a drier wine, better suited to pair with dishes that have some elements other than sheer sweetness, particularly poultry and game dressed with raspberry sauces ; however, as a contrast, it would also work with many richer raspberry desserts and sorbets.

  6. 3)   ’09 Castello di Neive grignolino, Piedmont, Italy Many indigenous Italian varietals (freisa, frapatto, dolcetto, brachetto, vespolina) offer wonderful pairing opportunities with raspberries, but I lean towards grignolino, particularly the fabulous bottling from Neive.  Fresh, fruit-driven, hints of spice box, all delivered with balance and finesse, a fantastic food wine with pairing range that encompasses seafood, veal, salume, and fruit desserts, particularly berries. 

  7. The ideal pairing? Try a mild cheese course (bufala mozzarella, this means you) with garnishes of candied walnuts, fresh and/or dried raspberries, and teardrop tomatoes and crostini.  Yes, I know, Thangsgiving deserves a cheese course.

  8. BONUS:    NV Patrick Bottex gamay noir / ploussard,LaCueille, Bugey Cerdon, Savoie,France I’d be remiss to not include a Bugey.  Lightly sparkling, packed with lush fruit and redolent floral notes, a stunning Brunch wine begging for waffles with raspberries and cream.  Maybe for the Sunday after Thanksgiving (didn’t those freeloading relatives-in-law leave yet?) (give them a Bronx cheer so they get the hint…after the Bugey).
