AMERICAN-STATESMAN RESTAURANT WRITER
Here’s the hard part: finding something that goes with dry white turkey meat and the gamier dark meat, plus gravy that’s salty and fatty and cranberry sauce that’s puckery-sweet. Now throw in smoky, fatty, salty ham. This calls for finesse, for a lot of chardonnay, a little riesling and a few bottles of pinot noir, the wonder grape. Plus one wine to keep the peace.
· Snoqualmie Naked Chardonnay 2009 ($12): The chardonnay grape gets a bad rap because some California wine technicians turn it into oak-soaked butter bombs. This organic winery leaves the grape alone, and it’s refreshingly light with a little citrus peeking through. Not too sharp for turkey, but bright enough to slice through the gravy.
· Stag’s Leap Karia Chardonnay 2008 ($35): One step up in power and technique, Stag’s Leap shows how scraping a little butter across a slice of toasted oak can make your wine taste as toasted and juicy as the bird.
· Seven Hills Columbia Valley Riesling 2009 ($14): This is crisp, a little sweet, with some drying mineral notes. And at 11 percent, it’s lower in alcohol (looking at you, brother-in-law). Your instincts will tell you it goes with the poultry, but its acidity will cut through the fat in the ham even better.
· MacMurray Ranch Central Coast Pinot Noir 2007 ($23): The winery carries the name of the actor Fred MacMurray, and his daughter Kate is the label’s ambassador. When she visited Austin, she and I talked about how much we liked her dad in “The Caine Mutiny.” The movie is so saturated with color, and his character is nuanced and complex. The wine is, too. I think of it almost like perfectly balanced cranberry relish.
· Byron Nielson Vineyard Pinot Noir 2008 ($34): This wine brings some dark cherry and a lot of warmth. This wine makes everything on the table get along.
The friendly folks in Fredericksburg really know how to celebrate the holidays. You’ll see just how festive this town can be when you spot the 26-foot rotating Christmas pyramid at the traditional German Christmas Market, St. Nikolausmarkt. More than 40 booths will feature every kind of decoration, nutcrackers, clothing, jewelry and gourmet food. The Community Christmas Parade kicks off the weekend on December 3rd. Also on the 3rd, the First Friday Art Walk provides visitors with an opportunity to see a range of Hill Country artists, including demonstrations, special showings and entertainment. On December 4th, you can take the kids to the Kinderfest, where the little ones can hang stockings over the fireplace as they listen to stories, sing carols and do a little crafting. They may just find that their stockings have been filled by a rather rotund special visitor, who will be making an appearance. The Fredericksburg Chorale Christmas Concert will take place that evening, featuring classic holiday music. Fredericksburg has always been a focal point of the holidays in the Hill Country, and this weekend is the best time to see all it has to offer.
Dickens on Main is Boerne’s annual homage to Christmas past. The shops and streets are adorned with lights for six nights to usher in the holiday shopping season. Snow will magically fall from the sky every 30 minutes at various locations along Main Street (then disappear without a trace). The 26th Annual Weihnachts Parade will be held December 4th, featuring floats, bands and horse-drawn carriages. If you want to be a part of the parade, bring Fido. The pet parade will precede the official Weihnachts parade, with awards for best costume, most talented and the pet who looks most like his master. You’ll want to take part in the Stocking Stroll. Purchase a stocking and collect some fantastic stuffers at any (or all) 30 participating stores. If edible architecture is more your thing, enter the Gingerbread House Decorating Contest. No matter how you like to honor the holidays, Boerne holds a unique Christmas treat.
If you’ve got kids with Kris Kringle on the brain, make sure you visit Burnet on December 4th for A Hill Country Christmas. For the parents, it’s a day of shopping for holiday decor, handmade arts and crafts, jewelry and gourmet food. But for the kids, it’s a chance to have breakfast with Santa! Kids will enjoy decorating their doughnuts while getting their faces painted, then sitting down to take a picture with Santa on a big red fire engine. If you can’t make it for breakfast, enjoy Teddy Bear Tea with Mrs. Claus. Kids will indulge in finger sandwiches, holiday cookies and hot chocolate as Mrs. Claus tells stories of Christmas. Afterwards, head on over to the First Baptist Church of Burnet for Main Street Bethlehem, a chance to see the world — and the first Christmas — as it was more than 2,000 years ago.

The “gosecondhomes.com” team hit a fabulous Bed and Breakfast in Port Aransas this last weekend. Michael and Kay were very gracious in sharing their beautilful lake house and showing us the “hot spots”, places to eat, shopping, beaches and so much more. It is an incredible beach front community and we are now thinking of how much fun it would be to have a second home. There is just an atmosphere at the ocean that cannot be duplicated. That why it’s so nice to have a home in the Hill Country and one at the beach. Oh, life is sweet. Thanks “gosecondhomes” team and Michael and Kay, we had so much fun.
Port Arasas Pass, what a great time, looked at wonderful new areas being developed. Want a second home this is the place to be. We relaxed, had great food,and lots of good company. Check out the community page on www.gosecondhomes.com.
