Traverse the wine aisle at any grocery store the days before Thanksgiving and you're bound to find a few people staring dumbfounded at the sheer variety of options. Is it Torrontes that goes best with turkey and Pinot Gris with prime rib, or vice versa? And what the heck do you pair with Pumpkin Pie?

TRIO sommelier Mark Sayre, who was just named one of Wine & Spirts magazine's "7 Best New Sommeliers in 2010," demonstrates the best wines for Thanksgiving and Christmas menus. Whether you're looking for simple varietal recommendations -- like the popular holiday dish pairing suggestions he put together last year -- or more specific brands based on budget.
