German wine is an ideal pairing for practically any dish at your Christmas feast.

German Riesling will spoil you with lively notes of apple and citrus mixed with steely minerality. A Riesling "Spaetlese" (late harvest) can balance the heaviness and rich dishes of Thanksgiving dinner.

Here are a few more suggested pairings with German wine for your Christmas meal:

• Roast turkey pairs well with aromatic wines, such as Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc)

• The fruit-forward, cherry flavors of a light Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) go well with a tart and tangy cranberry sauce

• A fruity Riesling will pair nicely with any fruit-based side dishes, such as sweet potatoes or pineapple

We hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday filled with great friends, food and, of course, wine!
