I just saw an article in the Miami Herald (Nov 12th) that says...surprise...Conundrum is best for Thanksgiving Dinner. Because it's a blend of 5 grape varietals and it's off-dry.

This is what it says..."When I first tasted Conundrum white wine from California's Caymus Vineyard in 2000, it was made of five grapes -- sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, semillon, viognier and muscat. Today its makers hint that they use even more grapes, but they won't identify them. That's the ``conundrum,'' they say. But the wine is rich and hearty, just right for Thanksgiving."

Check out the attached article...

For Thanksgiving, we try to find American wines to complement this quintessential American holiday. So, we start with an bottle of Gruet Sparkling wine from New Mexico. (We did a blind tasting with friends of sparklers under $20 and this was the clear favorite.) In our house we prefer red wines in general, so for the main course my preference is an Oregon Pinot Noir. Argyle, Domain Drouhin, Erath, and Torii Mor are some of the big brands, but there are many to choose from. Sadly, It doesn't always pay to buy the cheap bottles. I look for bottles in the $30-$50 range, because I AM cheap and don't want to more, and because they are noticeably better than most of the less expensive bottles. So, that's my preference. The wines are a complement to the meal, Pinot Noir doesn't overwhelm the turkey, and it feels good to be drinking these great American wines. Enjoy!

I like the beaujolais nouveau idea for red wine, because this wine comes out just before thanksgiving each year. It is reasonably priced, and has a lighter flavor (as red wines go), making it easy to drink and enjoy. Another thanksgiving-suitable red that is popular these days is pinot noir. You could also serve an Italian chianti. For people who don't drink much wine or who prefer whites, I'd choose a beaujolais nouveau, lightly chilled.
