Aloha to Thanksgiving with Kaena Wines! 🍷🌺

Aloha, my ohana! It’s that time of year again, where the leaves start to change, and the air gets crisp with anticipation. As someone who grew up surrounded by the gentle breezes and warm waters of Hawaii but now calls California home, I find myself blending the best of both worlds. And when it comes to Thanksgiving, what better way to bring together these two beautiful places than with the gift of wine?

Introducing our specially curated sets (with recommended food pairings) for this Thanksgiving: The Thanksgiving Pairing Set and the Thanksgiving Dinner Party Collection.

Thanksgiving Pairing Set:

• 2021 Chardonnay: Think of a sunlit beach day in Hawaii with a hint of tropical undertones. This Chardonnay is an impeccable match with a Creamy Butternut Squash Soup as you set the festive mood.
• 2019 Thompson Vineyard Grenache: With its smooth hints of red berries and a touch of spice, it's the wine that complements the star of the show: the traditional Herb-Roasted Turkey.

Thanksgiving Dinner Party Collection: This one’s for those who love to celebrate in style, with a table surrounded by loved ones and filled with laughter.

• 2022 Grenache Rosé: As refreshing as a Hawaiian morning, this Rosé is your perfect partner for a Cranberry and Walnut Salad.
• 2021 Hapa Blanc: This one's a bouquet of exotic aromas, pairing wonderfully with your Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes.
• 2018 Clone 362 Grenache: As stories unfold and laughter echoes, this wine pairs just right with Savory Sausage and Apple Stuffing
• 2019 Hapa Red: Deep, resonant, and perfect for those heartfelt toasts. Pair it with a sumptuous Bourbon-Glazed Ham to elevate your feast.

Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful, to share and to love. Just like our wines, which are a blend of my Hawaiian roots and some of the best Santa Barbara county vineyards, Thanksgiving is about blending traditions, memories, and moments. So, as you gather around the table, with our wines in hand, remember the spirit of aloha – love, peace, and compassion.

Mahalo for letting Kaena wines be a part of your special day. Hau’oli La Ho’omaika’i! (Happy Thanksgiving!)

Cheers!
