I'm a believer that many different types of wine can complement the Thanksgiving holiday. The variety of food with such varying characteristics means there's not really any single home run wine that matches all the flavors. I like to serve one white and one red bottle with the meal (at the same time, one glass of each per person), usually preceeded by a bubbly, Champagne or Presecco, while the meal is prepared.
With listing Costco wines, it's always a moving target since the inventory moves so quickly. But I found two wines we reviewed recently that I really enjoyed and that I think would be a good complement to the Thanksgiving celebration. These were purchased at a Costco store in Atlanta, GA so I can't say if you'll be able to find them near you. But keep an eye out.

I really enjoyed the Baileyana Chardonnay so was thrilled to see the Pinot hits store shelves. This is an $18 Pinot that drinks like it cost two to three times that. It's an easy crowd pleaser, with great mouthfeel and has enough vanilla, pepper and spice going on to jazz up almost any meal. My review here. |

I'm a fan of most Carneros wines and this Chardonnay hit me right on all accords. Rich, layered with touches of butter, cream and oak, but not too much. In my experience Neyers has never produced a bad wine. They are dependable, and for $25, this is a solid Chardonnay. My full review here. |
