The Beer Drinker
You're going to bring wine to a confirmed, diehard beer drinker's house? For Thanksgiving? I admire your moxie. Your best bet is to bring a bottle of wine sealed with a bottlecap. Hell, your host might even think it's a beer. A big, one-liter beer. But it's actually a Gruner Veltliner from Austria. The Hofer comes in a squat bottle with 33% more wine than your regular, boring 750ml bottle. (And that extra wine is always welcome at the holidays.) Your little bit of beer subterfuge will pay off for all the folks at the table who were secretly hoping for some wine, like this charming, light, refreshing white.
