Just in…NEW Capabunga designs $10.99. These stoppers are as handy as they are funny. They make a nice tight seal and don’t leak if you lay your bottle down, as long as they are not screw cap bottles! I think my favourites are “If you can read this you can have more” or “Weeknight STOP her”

Thanksgiving Wine Ideas
Pairing wine with food is a very personal preference, but there are some wines that will bring out the most of your turkey or ham. Choose reds with soft tannins like Pinot Noir, Zinfandel or Syrah. Whites should be well balanced in their acidity…think Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Gewürztraminer. Rosés are a great choice as a very food friendly wine.
Or…just keep it simple! Enjoy your time with family friends and Happy Thanksgiving!
