Prosecco , anyone???

sdebrango · Answer

I always serve a nice white but my favorite with turkey is  Lambrusco Rosso, it's not a heavy red, sparkling, light and just the right balance for a pretty heavy meal. No one really drinks white wine in my family and my favorite wine merchant told be to try the Lambrusco and I was hooked, I serve it every year now.

Thanks, everyone!  And for the record, a new Beaujolais will also be flowing. We have one person though who doesn't care much for red wine; thus my interest in finding a good white.  ;o)

lloreen · Answer

your menu looks fabulous!  I think a dry Riesling is great with turkey and all the sweet favors of the sides..  Maybe something sparkling to begin...

I've never had it with turkey, but my go-to favorite food friendly white is a Rousanne from Zaca Mesa.  It pairs deliciously with everything from slightly spicy asian food to steak with a bold chimichurri.  It runs about $25.  http://www.zacamesa.com/our_wines/Roussanne

If you have your heart set on a white wine, a pino grigio would work.  I like Santa Margherita.  I use to get it from Costco for ~$15.

HalfPint · Answer

Since we made and ate this at a B&amp;amp;B in Tuscany, we had it with a Chianti.  Not sure what label.  I'm guessing that Giullietta got it from one of her neighbors with a vineyard.  You can't go wrong with anything that that is labeled 'Chianti Classico Riserva'.  They run about $25-$50 a bottle, not cheap, but not heart-stopping either.  I've read that 2009 was an excellent year.

Summer O. · Answer

I would do a non-oaky American Chardonnay.

ChezHenry · Answer

Chassagne Montrachet if you have the money.  To be honest I would choose an Oregon Pinot Noir as it is Thanksgiving and perhaps we should keep it "American," but I see that you are interested in White Wines.
