    For about the last 3 yrs I've tried different wines but can't seem to find that really great match. Any ideas?

    Better late than never.

    Try a Zinfandel from the Russian River Valley of California.

    Sounds like an excellent pairing! For those not daring enough to try a red with turkey, you might want to give a nice gewurztraminer a shot - have never gotten complaints with that.

    I tried a Cotes du Rhone (sp?) with fried turkey this year. Went pretty well.

    The best Thanksgiving dinner we've had was with good friends unencumbered by family expectations and requirements. Turkey, cornbread stuffing and a 1986 Château Lafite Rothschild. I'll remember that dinner forever.

    I really like any of the Chardonnays from the Carneros region
