Thanksgiving Wines For $12 and Under!

Cellar XV Wine Market 
These recommendations come from Cellar XV Wine Market in Ridgefield, CT.  This is a great wine shop and they throw fantastic wine tasting events that support charity and other local causes. The events are reasonably priced too... and FWandD is always looking for value! And we think this is especially legit since there is a Rex Goliath on the list. Yum!

Rhone Valley, France

50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre, 10% Other

Red fruits and spice on the nose.  The mouth reveals rounded tannins; warm and full-bodied with rich dark fruit and a nice spice finish. A great value for any occasion, including Thanksgiving!
