The wide array of different spices and sweetness levels at the traditional Thanksgiving dinner table presents challenges, and probably no one wine can solve the problem alone (though many would propose Dry Gew\u00fcrztraminer as a solution). However, some wines (Cabernet, Petite Sirah, Sauvignon Blanc) would likely be ruled out altogether. At the Thompson&#8217;s table, where ten or twelve people of different ages and different tastes are seated, they solve the problem by opening one or two Alsatian-styled wines (Gew\u00fcrztraminer and\/or Riesling) and a Pinot Noir. These represent the most adaptable and food-friendly wines we know!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Thompson\u2019s have served this Sweet Potato Souffl\u00e9 at their Thanksgiving dinner for over thirty years. We think it adds a light and elegant touch to a meal that can otherwise get a little heavy.<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-align: center;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.claibornechurchill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/CC_groupshot_high_res.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-225 aligncenter\" title=\"Claiborne &amp; Churchill Sweet Potato Souffle Recipe\" alt=\"Claiborne &amp; Churchill Wines\" src=\"https:\/\/www.claibornechurchill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/CC_groupshot_high_res-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.claibornechurchill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/CC_groupshot_high_res-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.claibornechurchill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/CC_groupshot_high_res-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.claibornechurchill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/CC_groupshot_high_res-200x133.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>RECIPE:<\/p>\n<p>Prepare the sweet potatoes by boiling them in water, peeling off the skin and chopping them into chunks, or by baking them in the oven, halving them and scooping out the pulp.
