Jon Stewart Thanksgiving Funny, Peconic Bay Riesleing, Turducken

At Saturday's tasting (3-6p 132 Main St. in Greenport) we are talking turkey; wines that match up well with Turkey that is.

• Peconic Bay from Long Island
• Kung Foo Girl from Washington State
• Leitz Out from Germany
• Willm from Alsace France

We changed the colors a bit (don't adjust your TV dial) because each is very much different.  A personal fav is the Riesling from Peconic Bay Vineyards in Cutchogue.  It is really, really good. Join us would you please.

We caught The Daily Show recently and heard a pretty good Thanksgiving joke - it isn't verbatim but close:

"I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land."  Thinking back on things local, we without doubt had a few people here  350+ years ago who had family at that first Thanksgiving and unfortunately when they came here they took land too. That brings up a Johnny Carson joke from years ago.  "Thanksgiving is an emotional holiday. People travel thousands of miles to be with people they only see once a year. And then discover once a year is way too often".  That gives you two funnies to tell next week.

Speaking of funny, Turducken is all the rage now (turkey, duck, chicken all in one - please don't mess with the syllables).  Someone we know is trying it. We will let you know.  See you Saturday.
