It will be your typical Turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Any suggestions? We like (or are willing to try) just about everything.

A dry white like a charddonay or a pinot grigio will do well.

You could also get away with a light bodied red, like a shiraz.

All very yummy.

I mentioned before that I love Shiraz - I think it would be great with turkey and cranberry sauce...it's sort of peppery, a little bit of spice and a cherry kind of flavor to it.

For a white, I would suggest an Australian Chardonnay. I prefer vanilla-ish and oak-y flavors to anything flowery or fruity. A really nice New Zealand or Australian Chardonnay is almost buttery...I love it!

We just went to a wine tasting event all day on Saturday - we tasted over 60 wines!!!
