eWinematch is a great way to pair any meal, from hamburgers to sushi, with the perfect wine . You can also get sms messages — so if you’re at the restaurant or in a store and don’t know what to select, just ask via text message .

All of the suggestions I’ve seen sound very reasonable to me. My immediate thought was, “Impossible pairing? Are you kidding?” Then I figured it was probably a hook to get us all in.

I’d probably go with a Riesling, maybe Eroica or Saint M, or maybe something else. Beaujolais sounds good too.

Weston and Benito — right on! Bubbles all around! Gimme a dry sparkling rose — cremant du Burgogne or Alsace, or a dry rose Cava…

For still wines, I’d look for a good inexpensive pinot; perhaps a generic Burgogne, or something from the Languedoc. Possibly something from Oregon, although I personally feel that the prices for Oregon pinot are a bit too high.

While a white or sparkling would be a smart choice, I think in the spirit of leftovers the perfect pairing would be half a bottle of a cold red wine. Something thrown in the fridge after the big Thanksgiving dinner. Sure, you’re not going to appreciate all the elements at that temperature, but with a cheaper red (say, one provided by a friend or family member and left behind), negative qualities are dulled as well.

Champagne! Why? Because Champagne goes with everything and if not it makes you look cool muaha

I agree with Christina on this one. My day after sandwhich was a rye bread with turkey, mayo, stuffing, and cranberry. A sauv blanc really picked up on the cranberries.

Dry Rose! Love it with turkey, love it with leftover turkey sammies! In fact, I’m going to go with a bottle from the 2 cases of Coral Mustang Rose I have in my basement. It’s almost lunch time, right?

Actually, if you put a little cranberry sauce on the sandwich, it would pair quite nicely with a Sauvignon Blanc. I would have to go with Saint Clair Vicar’s Choice 2006. Mmmm….

A nice Riesling would be my choice — not too dry and not too sweet — and with plenty of fruit. I’m going to try it with the Chateau Ste Michelle Dry Riesling!

We did have an excellent turkey, juicy and flavorful, yesterday. Today we’ll have to try a glass of our homemade Old Horsethief (Maréchal Foch- Cabernet, 2005) with the sandwich. Sure beats air freight from France! Will let you know about taste. Enjoy!

A rational view from over the ocean where we did not have turkey yesterday, so am even envious of your turkey sandwiches. Wine with lunch sounds an excellent idea too – wouldn’t the ideal match be Beaujolais Nouveau?! (Ah, forgot, didn’t you ban that from this site?). Enjoy the holiday!
