The turkey stuffing contained rather a lot of pancetta; the Refosco worked better with it. Andre Scherer Chasselas ‘07; Occipinti Il Frappato ‘07; Dario Coos Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso ‘05.

Three bottles of tingly vinho verde to get four of us through the day's prep work -- and brace us for 16 guests. I let my 70-year-old dad browse the cellar for dinner accompaniment and he came up with a Sangre de Toro - a screw-top, which he promptly drove a corkscrew into. A quiet glass of calvados (pays d'auge)to create le trou Normand between courses, and buggered if it didn't work. Sabred a bottle of prosecco for dessert, mostly to amuse the wee ones. Then, when all had staggered off home, my wife and I, in peaceful domesticity, opened a 2005 Rodney Strong Cab Sauv reserve with leftovers -- a stunner, a corker, a keeper. Friday was a little fuzzy.

QBA. The Conde was OK, the others were excellent. And, tonight, for second Thanksgiving (my fiancee and I alone, the other one was with my family), we're having 2005 Château de Chamirey Mercurey Rouge. Mmm, elegant Pinot.
