In advance of Thanksgiving tomorrow, wine writer Sara Schneider penned an online story for Robb Report that will help readers navigate wine shop selections for their holiday table. The story, “12 Heart Wines to Pair with Your Thanksgiving Dinner,” featured the Château de Nalys 2017 Grand Vin Blanc Châteauneuf-du-Pape! This is incredibly exciting as the Guigal family has just released their first vintage from this historic estate in the Southern Rhone. Sara recommended a dozen bottles for Thanksgiving that can “handle all the rambunctious flavors on the table,” and specifically noted the Château de Nalys Grand Vin Blanc was one “worth keeping an eye out for.” Sara highlighted that “under the ownership now of iconic E. Guigal, Château de Nalys, in Châteauneuf, has upped its game.” Sara included a bottle shot and shared the wine’s tasting notes, such as its “lovely aromatics of honeysuckle, nectarines, and wet stones.” You can read the full story here
