Thanksgiving time in Washington means three things: the annual appearance of Art Buchwald’s column explaining Thanksgiving to the French, the president’s pardoning of a turkey who will inevitably ask why he survived while so many bright flowering young turkeys gave their lives, and alcohol. When DCist drops by family gatherings each year, downing a glass of wine or two is all we can do to keep from throttling our big Uncle Gothamist for hitting on our girlfriend or from tearing out our hair over our crazy Cousin Phillyist’s insistence that the pilgrims served cheesesteaks and Yuengling at the first Thanksgiving.
Because DCist suspects that you too will turn to the wine bottle this Thanksgiving either to self-medicate or — we hope — to enhance your dining experience, the DCist Food and Wine crew visited Best Cellars* in Clarendon to vet six wines that you might want to try with your turkey and trimmings.
