"What is that wonderfully robust, floral and bright tropical taste? Is it green apple, tangerine or honeysuckle? Could it possibly be apricot, melon, pear or light vanilla? That's the Conundrum. Our proprietary secretive blend of California white grapes create a lush, creamy texture that leads to the mouth-watering question, "Mmmm, what's in there?"."
This is the description for Conundrum on the Purchase page. With sweet and fruity tastes it seems like it would be a nice match to the turkey and several side dishes.
You could also consider this . . .
White/Sweet White
"White Sauvignon Blanc or a White Burgundy are also good all-around choices that pair well with everything from mashed turnips to turkey stuffing."
"If your guests prefer their wines on the sweet side, White Zinfandel is the all-purpose favorite to go with most of your turkey feast."
Red
"If red wines are normally your favorite, Pinot Noir is the perfect red wine for holiday feasting. More robust than white wine, Pinot Noir has very little tannin and will likely blend well with the entire holiday meal. Serve it slightly chilled."
Here is the site with these suggestions.

Personally, The Pinot Noir calls to me, it is a family favorite.

"SWEET b***h Merlot." And yes the name says it all might I add. It is sweet, rich, and full of flavor. It has a subtle taste to it and it goes down smooth. My grandmother introduced the wine to my family. The first time I saw the name of the wine on the bottle, I was laughing hysterically. At the same time I was still unsure of how it taste but once I took the first sip, I knew I was in love.
I would definitely use that brand wine for this Thanksgiving to share with my family.
Happy Thanksgiving.

By popular demand, it will be a Merlot adorning my Thanksgiving table. Thanksgiving is a time to enjoy, so go with whatever you enjoy! And by all means, smell the bouquet (and the aroma)...
Happy Thanksgiving!

There are a lot of options, particularly value-priced wines from Spain, Portugal and Italy and moderate to premium priced wines from German that may be better matches with your traditional Thanksgiving menu.
