3 Thanksgiving Dinner Menus with Wine Pairings
Classy: Herb Truffle Steak and Double Baked Mashed Potatoes
Sparkling lights. Champagne flutes. Sequins and velvet. If these are your must-haves for any holiday celebration, Tovala’s Herb Truffle Steak & Double Baked Mashed Potatoes with Bright Cellar’s Grasp & Grabble Cabernet Sauvignon are made for you. Cap off your luxurious evening with Tovala’s Chef’s Recipe Maple Walnut Cake.

The Grasp & Grabble Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold red wine from the Santa Ynez Valley in California. The flavor notes of date, fig, black currant, and oak all come together in this full-bodied red wine.
Rustic: Crispy Skin Trout with Braised French Lentils
Do you daydream about spending the holidays in a charming, snowy cabin? While we can’t promise the snow, Tovala’s Crispy Skin Trout with Braised French Lentils, Bright Cellars’ Avast Pinot Blanc, and Tovala’s Chef’s Recipe Peanut Butter Cookies will evoke a perfectly rustic getaway from the comfort of your own home.
The Bright Cellars’ Avast Pinot Blanc features a refreshing and zippy acidity. The flavor notes of apricot, peach, pear, and green apple will pair perfectly with the flavors in Tovala’s crispy skin trout.
Comfy: Roasted Turkey with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
If you’re all about cuddling up next to the fire with a steaming cup of hot cocoa and your favorite movie, you’ll love Tovala’s Roasted Turkey with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy with Bright Cellar’s Hazelaire Pinot Noir. Complete your cozy meal with Tovala’s Chef’s Recipe Cranberry Bars.

The Hazelaire Pinot Noir is a light-bodied red wine with flavor notes of black cherry, vanilla, raspberry, and earth – making this the perfect pairing for a classic Thanksgiving meal.
Tovala’s Smart Oven: Part Oven, Part Personal Chef
What if dinner could just…cook itself? With Tovala’s smart oven and meal deliveries, now it can.
For every Tovala Meal, their smart oven does the final, most important step: the actual cooking. It’s programmed to use heat and steam to cook exactly like our chefs, then shut off. Your food always turns out exactly like their chefs intended. It’s part oven, part personal chef!
