As far as the holidays go, Thanksgiving is one of our faves. No gifts, just a pure, unadulterated celebration of gratitude—accompanied, of course, by a delicious, pants-popping meal. Here, our top four drink picks to make dinner taste even better (they’re all Canadian, to boot):
bubble up: Start your Thanksgiving feast with a toast. From Nova Scotia, Benjamin Bridge crafts one of the most elegant and complex sparkling selections we’ve ever sipped, boasting hazelnut, brioche and lemon-curd notes that’ll leave you wanting more. Brut, 2008, $50 at mywinecanada.com
wonderful white: It’s not the turkey that’s tricky to couple with wine, but the many sides that accompany it. The solution lies in something fruity and full, like this small-batch Riesling from Little Farm Winery in B.C.’s Similkameen Valley. Mulberry Tree Vineyard Riesling, 2013, $30 at mywinecanada.com
red done right: If you opt for a scarlet elixir, choose one containing plenty of supple tannins, such this bottle by Niagara Peninsula-based 13th Street Winery. Why? For starters, it won’t overpower your bird—plus, it will work well with all of those veggies and stuffing. Gamay Noir, 2013, $20 at mywinecanada.com
cider house rules: Quebec producers make lip-smacking ice ciders that are simply perfect for pairing with pumpkin pie. Best of all, at just $20 a bottle, Coteau Rougemont provides excellent bang for your Thanksgiving buck—can you say, "Merci beaucoup"? Cidre de Glace (Ice Cider), NV, $20 at mywinecanada.com
Gratitude indeed! —Michelle Bouffard

I’ve been taking [url=https://www.cornbreadhemp.com/collections/full-spectrum-cbd-oil ]cbd full spectrum[/url] with a view a while now, and they’ve creditably been a game-changer as regards highlight and sleep. The pre-eminent part? No grogginess in the morning just a calm, relaxed impression rather than bed. Plus, they bit great, unequivalent to some other supplements I’ve tried. I was skeptical at elementary, but after daily using them, I can definitely say they help with unwinding after a great day. If you’re looking for a unembellished means to iciness without any spooky side effects, CBD gummies are benefit trying. Just make steadfast you get a grade trade name with third-party testing!
