Door County Bakery’s Corsica Bread

The breaking of bread with friends and family shouldn’t be just a metaphor on Thanksgiving, and what better bread to break than a piece of the famous Corsica Loaf ™ from Door County Bakery? The bakery crafted this one-of-a-kind artisan bread and describes it as “a marriage of French bread dough with a stone-oven baking process which incorporates our own blend of olive oils and sesame seeds. The rich olive oil flavor and hint of sesame seeds is an unforgettable taste that is bound to please all your dinner guests. Available by the pound, by the loaf, as a bun and in breadstick format, the serving options are plentiful. The bakery is open normal weekend hours as well as the Wednesday before Thanksgiving from 9 am – 3 pm.

Slice each wedge and pair with nuts, meats and crackers for a full snacking spread. Drop by the tasting room in Egg Harbor, open on weekends, or order online at WisconsinCheeseMasters.com.

Red and White Wine from Stone’s Throw Winery

A toast will be undoubtedly be in order to share everything you’re thankful for, and you’ll want to make sure you have wine options for the occaison. The bottle selection at Stone’s Throw Winery gives you plenty of varietals to choose from – including table reds and whites, red blends, rosé and sparkling wine. Visit the beautiful tasting room to sample your favorites and enjoy a case discount. A favorite bottle of mine is the Angelique Sparkling Wine, which is a white sparkling variety with a hint of almond. It’s the perfect sip for dessert and special occasions.

Pie from Sweetie Pies

Once the turkey has been eaten and stuffing dispersed, everyone will have their eye on the pie, because what is Thanksgiving without a delicious dessert to render you thoroughly stuffed?
