Dude- as others have mentioned, just grab a great Pinot from the Willamette Valley.
Clos Saint Michel Chateauneuf du Pape -- can pick it up at Total Wine. It drinks like a Pinot, but its my "special occasion" wine.
Drinks like a Pinot? I have never had a CdP that came anywhere close to drinking like a Pinot other than they were both wet.
Can anyone recommend a good Oregon Pinot for $20?
It starts off "big" in the mouth

Not sure where you are, but if you can find the Benton Lane Pinot Noir, buy it - awesome pinot, rivals most anything you can get out of Willamette Dammit. They used to have it at total wine for $19.99.
Edited to add: King Estate is pretty good too, but it may be like $25.
I'm having a huge internal debate trying to decide what should be my bottle of wine for Thanksgiving. I know that I will be limited by our local wine shop's inventory. So in the interest of getting ideas and reviving this thread - what is everyone enjoying for Thanksgiving?
Standard choice is a nice Pinot.
My wish list is for a jammy Zin, somethin like a Seghesio or Hartford Zin or if i can find it a Turley, they have some awesome Zins - The Dusi or even the Juvenile.
Since I am celebrating thanksgiving in a state more conducive to wine purchases (Georgia) versus where I live (Stinksylvania) - am interested to see what my options are.
Where in Georgia? I might be able to point you in the right direction for a Turley.
Right now I am northwest of Atlanta in Suwanee - will be celebrating thanksgiving up in the mountains at a place called Big Canoe near Jasper
