Wine Access Unfiltered podcast host Amanda McCrossin thinks about Thanksgiving WAY more than she should. That’s a good thing, considering all the work she’s put into picking a trio of wines that complement not only the meal, but the whole holiday. With two do-it-all French wines and a Prosecco the likes of which you’ve never tried before, this set will delight you through the day, from food prep to the final bite. 

Set Includes: 

Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Best Buy Bubbly
Masottina Collezione 96 Prosecco Rose Brut Veneto
Masottina crafted the first-ever Prosecco to crack Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list, and their Collezione 96 Rosé is one of the top values they’ve ever made. Comprising 90% Glera—the traditional grape of the region—with 10% Pinot Noir, it’s a Brut that offers a remarkable blend of seriousness and joy. 

A 95pt Ringer for Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc
2021 Domaine Gassier Lou Coucardie Blanc Costieres de Nimes
Any fan of robust white wines owes it to themself to try Gassier’s Lou Coucardié Blanc. It reminds us of Beaucastel Blanc, a powerful bottling that’s sought after throughout the wine world. No wonder Jeb Dunnuck gave the 2021 an impressive 94-point score, saying “it needs to be tasted to be believed.”

Côtes-du-Rhône Neighbor to Legends Rayas and Pignan
2022 Clos du Caillou Cotes du Rhone Vieilles Vignes Cuvée Unique
“Bargain hunters should stockpile these superb Côtes du Rhônes,” raved Robert Parker about Clos du Caillou, which produces “a bevy of Côtes du Rhônes that are as good as many producers’ Châteauneuf-du-Papes.” In 2022, the domaine’s 45-year old vines produced an absolutely gorgeous fruit-driven cuvée.
