Just got home from turkey dinner at California Cantina. Fun place, but they ‘ll have to work on their Thanksgiving skills… The best part was the Leyda Carmenere we ordered–paired like a charm!
Hope you enjoy your lamb and Syrah…

In reply to Margaret. Yes, I agree with you! I wish I was drinking Carmenere today on T-giving. This year since we're in Puerto Natales/Patagonia turkey day is looking more like lamb and Syrah tonight. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Thanks to you guys for reading and sharing. Love it.

Nice piece Liz… my only comment is about the WSJ article- I think what they were getting at when they said “risky” was that they were finding over-oaked Carmeneres that lost their personality and ran the risk of turning into “some generic red”… so the problem is the risk of losing its own very charming characteristics…
Love your Carmenere & turkey suggestions! That’s what will be in MY glass this Thanksgiving!
