[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with Calvert and Woodley for good selection (they will give you good recommendations)

How many ppl are you serving? You should get multiples of the same wine (1 bottle for every 3 ppl is a decent rule) so for 6 ppl make sure have at least 2 of each wine.  You could certainly do 6 of the same red, 6 of the same white.

Pinot is always a good choice for turkey. As are Cote du Rhône (Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre), and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. If you go somewhere good, they will fit your budget with a decent selection.

Sauvignon Blanc - the main thing to do with wine is drink what you like. It would be a fine white for turkey. So would unoaked Chardonnay or Gruner Veltliner.

Some bubbles are always nice for pre dinner too

Very helpful, thanks. I have 16 coming, but 4 don’t drink. What bubbly wine should I buy and how many bottles? Is $12-15/bottle too little to expect to spend? I can do up to $20 if that gets me significantly better stuff.

Thanks again. [/quote]
