This year, take charge early and pick out wines for next week’s feasting this weekend. Far too often people tend to wait until the last minute or even pick up a bottle on the way to the meal, which will both put you under unnecessary pressure and leave you with limited options.

While the traditional meal typically provides turkey, I have also included white wines that pair beautifully with that vegetarian holiday meal, too. Below is a short list of our picks for this year’s Thanksgiving Day wines to buy.
