2008 Erath Pinot Gris, $14

This fruity wine is from a seasoned Oregon winemaker and has hints of pear, ripe banana and peach blossom.

2009 Charles Smith Kung Fu Girl Riesling, $13

This wine is crisp and light—great with the cheese platter appetizer—with hints of apricot and lychee.

Gruet Brut Champenoise NV, $15

If you want your Thanksgiving dinner to feel more like a party than a stuffy tradition, pop a bottle of this New Mexican sparkling wine. It has super fine bubbles and a little taste of green apple.

2009 Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc Viognier, $14

From the blend of two rock-star grapes, you get this flavor-dynamic wine. It has notes of honeydew, peach and jasmine.

2006 Hayman & Hill Russian River Valley Reserve Selection Chardonnay, $14

This wine has a big, rich flavor with a bold finish. It’s perfect to sip on with the turkey, because of the surprising notes of tropical fruit, butterscotch and oak.

2009 Bonny Doon Vineyard Ca’ del Solo Muscat, $15

This is totally different from the sweet dessert wines also made by Muscat—this is a light white with scents of honeysuckle and basil.

2008 Pertinace Barbera d’Alba, $15

This rich, Italian wine has hints of blackberry, black cherry and violets. Break it out with the roasted vegetables.

2008 Georges Duboeuf Morgon Jean Descombes, $15

This bottle is bursting with the scents of black currant and roses but even though it’s jammy, it isn’t overwhelming.

2009 Matua Valley Marlborough Pinot Noir, $14

This is all you could want from a Pinot Noir: bing cherry flavors, a medium body, and a floral, smoky aroma.

2006 Montevina Zinfandel, $11

One of America’s tastiest grapes shines in this delicious wine. Drinkable even without food, it’s also a great accompaniment to hearty dishes.
