Answers: would go good with turkey ? white or red
sweet ?
me personally prefer white to red while eating and nothing sweet til after dinner
A lighter red like pinot noir or boujoulais pair very well with turkey.
turkey, either a pinot noir or a dry white.
thanksgiving, pinot noir.
A White Merlot. It's inexpensive so you can get a few for everyone at the table, and it's the perfect balance for whole poultry. Turkey tends to bit a bit dry no matter what, so a super red will just remind the eaters that the turkey is what it is.
A good value label is "Forrest Glen" from California.
Red wine by far.
Wine Spectator recommended last year before Christmas a Spanish Tempranillo (dry red).
I agree if the turkey is spiced up with sage, rosemary and thyme, you need a wine that will be as strong as those spices. In other words well balanced.
Otherwise, you will either taste the wine only and not the food or vice versa.
ANYONE would go well:
a) White wine: Beaujolais Nouveau
It should be drunk chilled - around 45F
Other options are: Chardonnay or a Dry Riesling
b) Red wine: The classic pairing with turkey is Pinot Noir.
If you're looking for something a bit more flavorful than the Beaujolais Nouveau
c) If you like sweeter wines then:
A white zinfandel or cranberry wine will work nicely.
