Richard Gagnon knows more about wine than anyone I've ever met. He's the wine guy at the Brattleboro Food Co-op, and he's also my cousin-in-law, who I used to see most Thanksgivings ... before we moved to the other side of the continent (Woodinville, WA). I've mentioned Richard before in this blog -- for example, he's the one who showed me (and the rest of the family) that the best Thanksgiving food and wine pairing is, well, whatever you like to drink, and he's also responsible for my relatively new interest in Pinor Noir.
Anyhow, even people who don't know Richard personally, or shop at the Co-op, can benefit from his wine knowledge now, as he recently launched a new wine blog, Vino Files, in which he recently shared some specific ideas for Thanksgiving food and wine pairing for those who might find "whatever you like" too daunting.
Well, I can name you a guy who knows more than Mr. Richard. Mike is the guy I'm talking about. He was declared the international wine maker of the year for 2007.
