Our Quiddity Holiday Rescue Kit includes a wine for any Holiday meal situation:

• 2021 RHATHYMIA (Roussanne) - If you are going completely off-script and are punting on the turkey and opting for something less traditional.  RHATHYMIA pairs well with pate, roast chicken, pork, veal, and many types of fish and shellfish.  Goes well with cream sauces and spicy flavors.  If you are punting outright and getting Thai or Vietnamese take-out for Thanksgiving (on the way home from Thelma's), then this is your wine. The 2021 RHATHYMIA is a crisp and bright white wine with a nice acid backbone.  Aromas of lemon, brioche, flowers such as honeysuckle and jasmine, and a hint of eucalyptus.  It has flavors of (Myer) lemon, lychee, kiwi, and tart apples.  For me, this wine is like going to downtown Seattle.  I live in the suburbs and I don't go to Seattle all very often.  When I do, I always think "this is awesome, I should do this more often."  Being a red wine guy, I don't drink whites all that often.  When I drink this one, I think "…beautiful, complex, bright, lively, and layered…I ought to drink this more often."

• 2022 RISIBILITY (Rose of Mourvedre) - Feeling like a deer in the headlights trying to decide between a red or a white?  Feeling a bit funky?  Then RISIBILITY is for you.  The 2022 RISIBILITY is a beautiful salmon colored rose wine with medium body, medium acid and a nose and palate of red fruit, strawberries, fruit punch, pomegranate, and cantaloupe.  And, as always, it has a bit of the edgy, nutty, Mourvedre funk.

• 2019 MELIORA - A great pick for classic Thanksgiving dishes with simple spicing (salt + pepper) or cream based dishes like creamy mashed potatoes or casserole.  It balances Thanksgiving dinners that have a high sweetness factor (yams, etc.) with a savory and earthy quality.  Works well with both dark and white meat turkey and will also do great to accentuate cranberry-like flavors.  It pairs exceptionally well with wild rice, salads, roasted squash, and cranberries.  The 2019 MELIORA is a medium bodied Rhone style red blend with a clean nose with aromas of red fruits, black tea, minerals and wet gravel.  It has flavors of red fruits, herbs, mineral, tobacco, slate, and white pepper.
