Like noses, everyone has a different opinion on what type of wine should be consumed with turkey, and there are several reasons for this. Turkey has somewhat of a greasy or oily taste to it that makes dry wines taste a wee bit odd. In addition, turkey has both white and dark meat which have very different tastes. I believe the best choice for turkey is a wine that is fruity but not sweet. At our Thanksgiving table I prefer to serve both a red and white with turkey so that my family can choose their favorite wine. A nice Chenin Blanc or Riesling serves wonderfully for a white wine selection, and a nice Zinfandel or Beaujolais is an great choice for those that prefer milder red wine.
