Ep 352: The 2020 Thanksgiving Episode -- American Wine Edition

<p>2020 has been unlike any other, so we are recommending some different things for this year’s annual Thanksgiving show. This year has been tough for everyone, but small, family-owned wineries have been hit pretty hard by fires, lack of tourism, and in some cases, rough harvest conditions. Thanksgiving is the quintessential American holiday, so for this year, especially, we’re recommending that we show support for great American, family-owned wineries and their wines that pair perfectly with any kind of Thanksgiving food you decide to eat.</p> <p> </p> <p>We start out with a few important announcements:</p> <ul> <li>The <a href= "https://www.winefornormalpeople.com/resources/">Wine Resources</a> section of the WFNP site is now live.
