5 Tips And 9 Wine Recommendations From Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse

Thanksgiving Wine Recommendations from Marian Jansen Op de Haar, Wine Director, Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar

Besides that fact that Marian is super fun, she has great wine suggestions for Thanksgiving too. Marian’s top 5 Thanksgiving Wine tips include:
1. Whites are a good pick, but without oak treatments because they go better with the variety of dishes
2. A little sweetness works well with side dishes
3. Rose goes with everything
4. All reds that are light to moderate style without a lot of tannins.
5. Drink your reds with Thanksgiving cool (60F) and they will make a nice pair with everything.

Some specific Thanksgiving wine suggestions are listed below. If you click on them you can find additional reviews and tasting notes on each wine.
