Okay, here's a question / discussion topic, which I'm sure quite a few of us would love to discuss.

The holiday is nearly upon us, and I'll be joining some family for dinner (as I do every year, just about). We're a family that sticks to mostly traditions of the italian nature. Every year, we make homemade pasta or raviloi (along with the ham, and usual holiday foods), antipasto, etc. While the usual "standard" table wine served is typically a Sangria (usually a cheapo bottle of Yago), I really do want to try and "break the mold" this year.

I already bought a bottle of Mirrasau (sp.) Riesling, since that would probably be a great wine to hold up to the heavily sauced dishes..as well as a bottle of Mead (just for the sheer novelty, plus I enjoy it). Anybody have some wine reccomendations?
