What Is The Perfect Wine For Thanksgiving?

I was poking around Tommy:eats and found a comment — from Tommy, no less — that was absolutely spot-on. I tend to rant and rave about most things; I am opinionated in case you haven’t noticed by now.  So I had to respond to what Tommy said, but really, he nailed it.
