Be a Holiday Legend with Gifts from DeLaurenti
Thanksgiving is fast approaching, and at DeLaurenti, we’re here to help you make your feast unforgettable. Whether you’re hosting the whole family, seeking that special ingredient to elevate your dish, or searching for the perfect wine to complement the meal, we’ve got you covered. We’ve got excellent sausage for stuffing, the finest antipasti in Seattle, Spanish chestnuts, fresh bread, salame, prosciutto, an extensive cheese selection, and so much more.
Wondering which wine to bring? With so many palates to please, we recommend modestly priced, energetic, and versatile wines — the kind that make great table companions across a variety of dishes. Here are three wines, two reds and a white, that are available in-store and on our website. They’re exceptional values for what’s in the bottle. The wines all have well-balanced acidity, giving them a vibrant liveliness that will stand up to a hearty meal.
Elio Sandri Nebbiolo: This serious yet graceful Nebbiolo from Elio Sandri balances rusticity and elegance, standing apart from entry-level offerings while younger than a Barolo. From family vineyards in Monforte d’Alba, Sandri’s minimal intervention allows bold cherry flavors, mineral undertones, and notes of red berry, juniper, and tart apple to vividly express the essence of Piemonte.
Eyrie Estate Pinot Noir: This legendary, elegant wine is a benchmark Pinot from a region renowned for its Pinots and a testament to David Lett’s bold vision for Oregon’s Willamette Valley. The estate’s dry-farmed vines yield a finely balanced, sharply defined, medium-bodied Pinot Noir that is fabulously tasty.
Cardedu Vermentino: This bright, citrusy Vermentino from the esteemed Cardedu estate embodies the vivacity and depth that define Sardinian whites. Notes of Meyer lemon, tangerine zest, and delicate elderflower mingle with a leesy texture and a lingering touch of saline minerality. Its bright acidity makes it a versatile companion for the Thanksgiving table.
In-store, you’ll also find our extensive magnum collection—is there a better way to arrive at your feast than with a magnum in hand?—as well as a great selection of bubbly.
While we’d love to see you in person, we understand the holidays can get busy. If you can’t make it down to the market, visit our online store and let us take care of the rest. We ship same-day orders seven days a week throughout the greater Seattle area (order by 12 P.M.). Overnight shipping is available for other locations.
Back by Popular Demand: Another Fishwife Demo!
After their successful demos in July and October, Fishwife is returning once more to DeLaurenti on Saturday, November 23, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. We’re thrilled to welcome them back! They’ll be in-store letting you try some fin-tastic items.
Fishwife is a vibrant, female-founded food company established in 2020 by Becca Millstein and Caroline Goldfarb. Their mission is to make ethically sourced, premium, and delicious tinned seafood a staple in every cupboard. They source from healthy fisheries and certified sustainable aquaculture farms, bringing the rich tradition of conservas culture to North American tables.
The name “Fishwife” hearkens back to the 16th century, originally describing the daughters or wives of fishermen who sold fish at the market. Over time, it became a term for brash and outspoken women—a spirit Becca and Caroline proudly embrace.
