There continue to be numerous winery events this fall leading into the holidays. For instance, some of the Grand River Valley wineries in Ohio are featuring a Turkey Trot on November 15. This features wine paired with a variety of foods for Thanksgiving. Debonné wines and Ferrante wines will be paired with turkey. Grand River Cellars will pair wines with stuffing. Laurello Wines will be paired with cranberries. St. Joseph Wines will be paired with desserts.

I just received an email from Pearmund Cellars in Virginia that will be featuring a dinner at The Palm Restaurant in Washington, DC. The date is November 21, 2008. Reservations are required. If you can join the group the menu promises to be mouthwatering.

I’ll continue to make suggestions of special events especially from those wineries who support Wine Trail Traveler. Many wineries have special events at this time of year. Check to see what winery events are in your local area.
