Thanksgiving on the Mind...

Well, Thanksgiving's on my mind today, and I came across a fun article from Forbes that talked about Thanksgiving dinner wine pairings...the guy cited in the article (Gary Vaynerchuk) made 2 great points:

1) Ignore the traditional wine-pairing rules of the other 364 days of the year (red wines with roasted meats; light whites with salad). Forget about every food that's on the Thanksgiving table, actually. "All these rules have pigeonholed creativity," he says. "It's OK; try different things. Have fun with it, don't be intimidated by it."

2) Thanksgiving is a long day. So, if you're going to be drinking wine, be sure to pick varieties or styles you know you can drink all day--in other words, wines that are lower in alcohol and lighter in weight.Very good point! That is, unless you're going for the drunken stupor, which, depending on your family, can be a good idea.

So what's your favorite wine to have with Thanksgiving dinner?
