Pairing Wine with Turkey
Video guide to pairing wine with turkey
The perfect red wine to go with turkey
Julia: What red wine goes best with turkey?
JC: A good Merlot. And I have to say as a French man, a good Merlot from South Africa, yes.
Julia: Full bodied.
JC: And you know I don’t want something too weak or too strong and I like to have the feeling of the roasting flavours. But I think the most important thing is to make sure the wine is at the right temperature. Trust me. Because one degree, with a Merlot, under, can make it a little bit acidic.
< p>I’ll give you a small tip. You might not believe me, but I put the wine for 4 seconds in the microwave. Just four seconds. It’s nothing four seconds but it’s enough to regulate the temperature and give it that amazing flavour.
