Hi Clint,
To recap suggestions (current and from previous years) for Thanksgiving:
Riesling
Zinfandel
Pinot Noir
Chenin Blanc
(quality of wine depends on wine savvy of your guests)

For Christmas:
For us Scandinavians, it's difficult to find a wine match for Swedish
meatballs, pickled herring, potato soup, etc., so we usually heve a
sparkling wine (not to be confused with Champagne). I suppose one
could drink the "real" stuff in a pinch.

For New Years:
Some hors d'oeuvres and a couple of shots of Lemon cello ain't bad for a
start. After that ... be very careful driving home.

Maybe not too much help, but -
Cheers and happy holidays,
Dick
