Prosecco and Rum Punch for everyone to sip while I finish cooking, Cabernet during the appetizers, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc on the table, Ice Wine during dessert, and breakin' out the top shelf liquor for after-dinner drinks. I may also make Chatham Artillery Punch.

Hmmmm, the best wine??? I'll just ask this vagrant in the gutter, what wine he prefers..

/Paper wrapped, fermented berries is the best.
//Fancy wrap paper hides the name of the rotgut that is being served.
///Use lots of glue to make sure that no one tries to peek at the real name, which must be scrapped off before wrapping.

This is a trick question. The correct answer is: none. You want to spare as much room in your stomach for all the Thanksgiving food you can eat.


If I don't have to cook but people will cook a boatload of food I'm gonna gorge myself until I don't have room for a thin wafer.

 
Ow! That was my feelings!

Hi there. I actually do not have any plans for Thanksgiving. I can bring a pie.

I'm getting a hangover just thinking about the nightmare hangover my sister gave me by feeding me Mogan David at thanksgiving when I was like 15. Painful lessons teach you the most or something.

Actually, he was/is one of the straightest people I know, but he knew that Rossi would make him look gay. He was a hipster before being a hipster was cool. Now he's married, and his wife is SO hot!

Because the apps are full-bodied, spicy cured meats and the dinner is turkey.

Wine? Really? I require Jack Daniels and lots of it, especially if it's a family function. I can't stand those people. My wedding should be fun.

If I put this into the context of Thanksgiving with my family, then...

THIS!!!

Otherwise, not so much. I actually enjoy some of the nice red blends that are being produced these days.

Technically yes, but the traditional Thanksgiving family arguments need a good head of liquor to really get going.

For me, it seems I can eat more when I drink wine with my meal.

Since we try to support our local wineries, here's a shameless plug for our favorite ice wine, Frosty Dog (new window)

The Mad Dog challenge? Nice!

The best part of that is re-gifting it to the bastard who first talked you into it, before you'd tasted the stuff. In my case he almost fell off the balcony, and his girlfriend looked like she was ready to slit my throat. Worst hangover I've ever had.

Thanksgiving is one of the few occasions when Beaujolais Nouveau is appropriate.
Start with a Prosecco, to clear the palate, drink the Beaujolais with the turkey, and finish off with a decent Riesling (don't waste a TBA, as mentioned in the article - Auslese will be fine)
Happy Thanksgiving.

I suggest... my own!

Sauv. Blanc is young, but ready.
Barolo is @ 3 years... should be getting good now.
Supertuscan Mix is getting close.
The merlot is definitely ready.

Tough call, tough call....

I see votes for T-Bird, Wild Irish Rose, and MD 2020.

There's only one place I know of that can give you the head to head on all three at once.

I give you... Bumwine!

A friend of mine would do the same thing, but with the 3l bottles of sangria, usually finished the whole thing too. Another farker can back me up on that, he lived with the guy for 2 years. We did the math one time, one of the better deals around pure ethanol to dollar ratio-wise.
