Celebrate the Season with a Sweet and Savory Twist

This November, Wyatt’s Wet Goods invites you to celebrate the flavors of fall at our Thanksgiving Pie and Wine Pairing event in Longmont, Colorado. Enjoy a festive afternoon of pie-inspired tastings that showcase how the right wine pairing can elevate your favorite holiday desserts.

From rich reds that complement chocolate pecan pie to crisp whites that brighten apple crumble, our curated pairings are designed to help you discover new flavor combinations for your Thanksgiving table. It’s a delicious, educational, and fun way to get into the holiday spirit—Wyatt’s style.

Discover the Art of Wine Pairing

Thanksgiving is all about balance—savory dishes, sweet desserts, and memorable moments shared with family and friends. Finding the perfect wine pairing brings it all together.

During this event, you’ll sample a variety of wines handpicked by the Wyatt’s Wet Goods team, each chosen to highlight the best in classic Thanksgiving desserts. Learn which varieties pair perfectly with pumpkin pie, how sparkling wines enhance tart fruit flavors, and why a smooth dessert wine might be the best way to end your meal.

Our knowledgeable staff will be on hand to share tasting notes, pairing tips, and recommendations to make your holiday hosting even more impressive.

What Makes a Great Dessert Wine Pairing?

Not sure how to match your favorite sweets with wine? A few key principles make dessert wine pairings truly shine:

1. Sweetness Balance: Your wine should be as sweet or sweeter than your dessert. A dry wine next to sugary pie can taste overly bitter or acidic.

2. Complement or Contrast: Match similar flavors (like buttery notes in Chardonnay with pecan pie), or create contrast (such as a crisp Moscato with rich chocolate).

3. Acidity Matters: Wines with bright acidity—like Riesling or Prosecco—cut through rich or creamy desserts, keeping your palate refreshed.

4. Body and Texture: Light-bodied wines pair best with airy desserts like meringue, while full-bodied reds suit dense, chocolate-based pies.

5. Temperature & Tannin: Slightly chilled wines can enhance sweetness and reduce tannin bitterness, perfect for smooth sipping with dessert.

By understanding these fundamentals, you can create your own wine pairings at home that turn simple desserts into showstopping finales.
