Turkey? Check. Cranberries? Check. Wine? Are you kidding?? Check. It wouldn't be a true Thanksgiving feast at my house without the bottles of wine flowing.
Undoubtedly, if your guests are anything like mine, they'll fall into one of two camps: red wine drinkers and white wine drinkers. Sure, more savvy wine connoisseurs will prefer the style of wine that pairs best with the meal--but I'd presume that the majority just drink what they like. A fantastic rule to go by, I say.
Better stock up on some bottles of red and white.

For your red, you can't go wrong with a few inexpensive bottles of Pinot Noir, a veritable crowd-pleaser. (Choose a lighter-bodied bottle and you'll also have a great food pairing for roasted turkey.) And for your white, how about a California Chardonnay, a complex wine that is sure to appeal to your most finicky white wine fans. Have one bottle of each open at all times, and your guests will give thanks.
After all, that's what we're going for, isn't it?
