[quote=Anonymous][quote]People seem to have their own favorites and part of the tradition but if you are interesting in exploring some different wines, the NYT has a good wine column on Thanksgiving wines around $20 and they tend to skew Italian/Spanish whites and then a variety of reds, on the lighter side. Heavy reds (cabs) will typically clash with the sweet flavors. I personally do not like most of the Thanksgiving foods so I just pull out wines I feel like drinking, and often opt for Chateauneuf du Pape, but not likely to find that recommended by many wine critics for Thanksgiving. It is always a hit, likely because of the name. [/quote]

I love Chateauneuf, and would totally drink it with the Thanksgiving meal. (If I weren't already having so much fun with my Rhone whites--I love viognier, rousanne & marsanne).  It's really good with fowl--especially duck--and with smoked food.

Also, this is kind of random, but there's a winery in Maryland called Thanksgiving Farms.  We tried some of their wine at the farmer's market last year, and it was excellent!  We ended up taking four bottles to Thanksgiving--2 rose and 2 "Franc Blanc" (white cabernet franc).  These were not cute-named novelty wines--they were really good.
