BUTCHER DEPARTMENT
Thanksgiving is a busy time for butchers.
There are turkeys to deal with: we specialize
in local, organic and heritage birds. Helping
customers decide what kind to order and what
size so that there will be plenty of leftovers
or none at all is something that Eli’s butchers
are always happy to do. There are stuffing
mixes to prepare and sausages to fill. There
are other birds to think about. Not everyone
loves turkey. Small groups will often choose
a richly delicious capon or individual Cornish
hens and large groups will sometimes have a
turkey and a ham. Whatever size group you
are celebrating with this season, count on the
butchers at Eli’s to make the holiday one you
can enjoy.

ELI’S LIST THANKSGIVING WINES
A magnum is simply the equivalent of
two bottles of wine, but there is something
especially festive about these big bottles—and
Thanksgiving is the perfect opportunity to go for
their grandeur. We are happy to get you into
the holiday spirit with a selection of magnums
worth giving thanks for.
For our full selection, please visit the wine
shop, 1413 Third Avenue at 80th Street

SPARKLING
2003 Grand Cru Champagne Brut
“Millesime,” Egly Ouriet $400
70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, this
Champagne shows great freshness and purity,
combining minerality with a fruit presence. Made
by Francis Egly in Ambonay, this is one of our
favorite examples of growers’ Champagne.
WHITES
2014 Finger Lakes “Dry Riesling” Hermann
J. Wiemer $75
Hermann Wiemer planted one of the first
successful vinifera vineyards on Seneca Lake
in 1976. This is the signature Riesling from the
estate, a vibrant, aromatic wine with a distinctive
mineral quality. It’s a Thanksgiving tradition for Eli
and his family.
2014 Vin de France (Rhone), Domaine
Romaneaux-Destezet, Herve Souhaut $104
90% Roussanne and 10% Viogner (all noncloned vines). Herve Souhaut makes his natural
wines on his farm “Les Romaneux” opposite the
famous hills of Hermitage, in the Northern Rhone.
This cuvée, made of Roussanne with just a touch
of Viogner, shows notes of pear and elderflower,
is elegant and generous, and a very versatile
wine for the holiday table.

2002 Cotes du Jura Chardonnay, Domaine
Rolet $60
Elaine, Guy, Bernard and Pierre Rolet own
and manage this domaine characterized by its
consistency and the slightly oxidized style that
they call “a little hazelnut nose.” This is a beautiful
example of balanced Jura wine, mature and
precise, perfect for the turkey and the cheese
course that might follow it.
REDS
2012 Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru “Jarrons”,
Pierre Guillemot $137
The Guillemot family has worked Savigny-lèsBeaune vines for eight generations and produces
wines with classic Burgundian finesse and
balance. They emphasize grace and elegance
over power. Aged for 18 months in barrel, it’s
juicy, with lovely Pinot fruit, herbal notes and a
touch of rusticity.
2010 Irancy, Thierry Richoux $80
Thierry Richoux farms organically a handful of
south-facing vineyards in the Chablis area. Irancy
is the most famous red wine of the region. It is
a cold-climate red, with delicate fruit, pleasant
smokiness and a mineral backbone.
2013 Chianti Riserva “I Tre Borri” Corzano
e Paterno $115
Corzano e Paterno is located in the town of San
Casiano Val di Pesa, just outside of the Classico
Region, at an altitude of 300 meters. This is a
classic expression of pure Sangiovese, with dark
cherry, tar and a hint of rose petals.
2006 IGT Emilia “Macchiona,” La Stoppa
$120
La Stoppa is a historic estate near Piacenza, in
the heart of Emilia-Romagna. La Macciona is a
blend of two indigenous varietals: Bonarda and
Barbera, macerated in their skins for 30 days and
aged in large wooden casks for two years. This
is an elegant, well-structured, rich and complex
wine, with spicy fruit notes and integrated tannins.
