In addition to spending time with loved ones and pausing to reflect on what we are most thankful for, Thanksgiving is all about food. Lots and lots of food. The centerpiece may be the turkey, but it’s your recipes that make your Thanksgiving meal distinctly yours. A reflection of your family, your ancestry, even the region of the country where you are from.

And, all of those dishes need wine (because everything does, doesn’t it?). And there’s no better holiday-worthy wine than Dozen Roses (even the bottles seem dressed for the occasion). After all, holidays call for crowd-pleasing wines, the kind you’ll enjoy just as much as your Great Aunt Mabel and your niece just home on college break.  

Because, whether you choose the red, the white or the rosé, Dozen Roses Wine has the perfect hint of sweetness to work with roasted turkey with cranberry sauce, candied yams, glazed carrots, sweet potato souffle, and of course, homemade apple pie.

But don’t take our word for it, try our Easy Apple Pie recipe, paired with a perfectly chilled glass of Dozen Roses White Wine and get ready for compliments!

Easy Apple Pie

• Store-bought puff pastry pie crust

• 8-10 apples, cored, peeled and sliced (choose your favorite variety, we like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp and Braeburn)

• 2 tablespoons sugar

• 1 tablespoon flour

• 1 tsp. Cinnamon

• ½ tsp. Nutmeg

Preheat oven to 425ºF. Roll out dough if needed and place in bottom of pie pan.

Mix apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg in bowl and place in pie shell. Top with second pie crust. Crimp edges together and vent top of crust by making 4-5 slits in top of crust. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake at 425º for 35-40 minutes. Serve with a chilled glass of Dozen Roses White.

Cheers!
