My wife and I roll our eyes when it comes to Thanksgiving because everyone has their favorite side dish and in the end the menu is always the same. I'm trying to slide in a new brussels sprout this year and it's going over like a lead balloon... but back to the point of your post. I find that gewurztraminer is my go to wine for Thanksgiving. It's got enough depth to stand up to some of the heavier dishes, but is light enough to play nice with the other stuff. For red I almost always serve a pinot noir, but love the idea of having a big beefy cabernet (or barolo) waiting in the wings for those that want something with more substance later. Thanks for getting the ideas flowing and have a great Thanksgiving! Jim | @jimstorer You hit the nail on the head with this post.
