I'm Not Going to Tell You What You HAVE to Drink at Thanksgiving

Just some gentle, general suggestions

Here we are, with Thanksgiving six days away, looming like a slow-moving juggernaut. And let’s be honest — we’re not going to find a wine that matches sweet potatoes with marshmallows and brown sugar AND green bean casserole AND oyster-chorizo dressing. And let’s be honest again — the annual festivity (and please don’t call it “Turkey Day.” That’s infantile.) shouldn’t be about the wine. It should be about family and friends and everybody getting along swimmingly for at least one day or a few hours, as long as Uncle Simon doesn’t start droning on about the Good Old Days.
