holiday wine, made easy 🍷 (free cheat sheet!)


Hey, Reader,

Thanksgiving — and the whole holiday season — is almost here, which means the yearly question is back:

What wine actually goes with all this food?

My friend Meg — the winemaker behind Flipturn Cellars and the zero-snobbery educator at Barrel Dork — makes wine feel easy and fun, and she’s SO generous with her know-how. She even made a super handy Food & Wine Pairing Cheatsheet just for Feast + West readers!

If you’ve ever wondered whether a wine actually works with dinner, this guide has you covered. It’s simple, printable and packed with tips for pairing:

  • What pairs best with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and classic holiday sides
  • Cozy winter pairings for roasts, appetizers, everyday dinners and even desserts
  • Simple rules so you always know which bottle to bring or serve.

Grab your free cheatsheet, and print it for the fridge or keep it handy on your phone for those "wine aisle wanderings." It’s the easiest way to level up every meal this season.

Cheers to delicious pairings and a joyful start to the season!
