5 Wines to Bring to Thanksgiving Dinner

Thanksgiving means turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie and other great things to eat and all that good food deserves something good to drink. Fortunately, your local wine seller has plenty of options for Thanksgiving Day.

To make the decision even easier, Patch spoke to Karl Hansen, three-year owner of Westhampton Fine Wine, who provided a list of popular wines that pair well with a turkey dinner.

2. Afros Vinho Verde 2010 vintage from North Portugal. Hansen said the wine pairs well with poultry and fish. Retail: $13.99
