One thing that can’t be missing from the dinner table on Thanksgiving - aside from the buttery mashed potatoes, tart cranberry sauce, and meaty brown gravy, is of course a good bottle of Thanksgiving wine. As we all know, wines can be as diverse as the Thanksgiving side dishes themselves. That is why, it is quite possible that you might have to try even harder deciding between a crisp white wine, a bubbly one, or a full-bodied red.
