It’s time to start thinking about your Thanksgiving wine. Which varieties work best...

Which wine do you plan to serve with that turkey? 

There are no set rules, as there are several varieties that will really compliment your Thanksgiving meal. Here are some great picks from wine expert Stacy Slinkard:

If you like white wine, Riesling is a nice choice. Its apple tones pair well with salty dishes. Sauvignon Blanc is crisp with herbal undertones and tastes great with turkey and mashed potatoes. If you’ll be cooking with a lot of garlic and onions – go with a Pinot Grigio.

If red wine’s your thing, Pinot Noir and Zinfandel are traditional favorites. Syrah compliments dark turkey meat with peppery notes. And don’t forget a bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau. It’s typically light and fruity and the latest crop is unveiled each year just in time for Thanksgiving. The 2012 vintage is getting pretty good reviews.
