Default Thanksgiving wine

Hi Trevor - In the US Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth thursday in
November, thanks to President Lincoln. It's a big family day. My wife and
I just had the 38th Thanksgiving dinner here at our house. Twentynine
family members attended, nine of which are under 5 years. The dinner is
usually turkey and traditional side dishes but this year our theme was
Italian. We have a non-turkey Thanksgiving every few years just to shake
the group up. I served a cranberry/raisin wine but my family is not big on
wine. Light beer, fruit punch and Coke were consumed in large volume.
