Stephanie Gallo, vice president of marketing for E.&J. Gallo Winery, offers these thoughts on which wine to survey with the Thanksgiving meal:

"I think a sweet wine offers a fresh take on the traditional Thanksgiving meal. With the sweet potatoes, I recommend pairing Gallo Family Vineyards Moscato. The delicate flavors of peach, honey and citrus complement the potatoes perfectly.

"For an elegant addition to the festivities, I suggest Barefoot Bubbly Brut Cuvee. The delightful green apple, jasmine and peach flavors in this sparkling wine are a wonderful contrast to the sautéed chard. Both of these wines pair perfectly with succulent turkey and traditional stuffing."
