Tick Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Whats best ? I'm not a big white wine guy, but I figure it will go best with Turkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pags Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Tick, I'm more into red wines as well - but always enjoy a Pinot Grigio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarian Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I'm going to say Beringer (white zinfandel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EveryNerveAware Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 The standby Chardonnay is fine if you choose an un-oaked or lightly oaked Californian or maybe a French Burgundy. Almost any Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Gris will work especially if you are using a lot of herbs in your dishes. A Riesling or Gewurztraminer has ripe fruit flavors and round texture to match the richness of the dishes, but a nice dry finish to cleanse the palate. Or complement the meal with a full-bodied wine with a lush creamy mouth feel and intense floral aroma by serving an American Viognier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredtamasrule Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I think the riesling by Bloom would go nicely with turkey. It's not overly sweet like some rieslings can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theredtamasrule Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Also, Beaujolais Neauveau will be out by then. It's pretty light compared to most red wines and yummy with Thanksgiving dinner...or pizza...or steak...or anything really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubled_mystic Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 some good suggestions already, and I'll add a few that I like. I'm a riesling fan, and plan on grabbing a couple bottles of Coppola Encyclopedia riesling for Turkey Day. Tried it a couple of weeks ago at a wine tasting and really loved it, one of the better rieslings I have tried thus far. Sweet, but not overpowering as some rieslings can be, nice fruit of pear and apple up front, finished very nicely. Saint M and Polka Dot, both from Germany, would be other suggestions on that front. The other style I'd probably lean to for Thanksgiving would be an unoaked chardonnay. Four Vines Naked is excellent, soft and buttery up front, bit on the drier side as chard tends to be, finishes well. Pinot grigio could also do well, but isn't my favorite variety of white, and I'm hesitant to even speak about sauvignon blanc as all I can think of is the typical grapefruit and grass taste from most of them (not exactly what you want with turkey). Just a few suggestions, but which ever way you decide to go for wine on Thanksgiving, enjoy, and have a happy Turkey day everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janie Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 QUOTE (rushbass @ Nov 17 2008, 03:31 PM) Beaujolais Pouilly Fuisse I love Pouilly Fuisse! However, to answer tick's question, I second Jack's suggestions. I would do either a Chardonnay or a Pinos Gris although Pouilly Fuisse is another option. I usually reserve that for seafood but it's a nice white wine too. It would work very well. They tend to be pricier though and the selection is minimal.

Tick Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Thanks for the suggestions, now im totally confused. I'll just drink beer. Kidding I'll probably go with a chardonay or Pinochio, whatever you called it. (Pino Grigio ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the masked drummer Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) Brancott Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. It's dry yet has a light fruity taste. It rocks, man. About 13-15 bucks a bottle. Cheap but good... http://img.nextag.com/image/Brancott-2007-Sauvignon-Blanc/1/000/006/081/065/608106588.jpg Edited November 19, 2008 by the masked drummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
