Q. I have no idea what wine to serve with the Thanksgiving meal. Any suggestions?

You probably want to get both a red and a white wine and plan on about 5 standard glasses per bottle. Count on each person drinking between 3 and 4 glasses over the course of a long dinner. A fruity pinot noir is a good choice for the red; riesling or viognier would be good picks for the white. For more information, see The Perfect Wine for Thanksgiving.
