Thanksgiving is an American tradition of family, friends, food and football.  When it comes to which wine is best paired with the star of the meal, the turkey, there are many opinions.

Here are five of my favorite American pinot noirs that pair beautifully with your bird, and its accompaniments.

• 2007 Hirsch Vineyards San Andreas Pinot Noir – about $65, from California, click here for tasting notes
• 2007 Merry Edwards Russian River Valley Pinot Noir – about $45, from California, click here for tasting notes
• 2006 Tantara Bien Nacido Adobe Pinot Noir – about $50, from California, click here for tasting notes
• 2004 Gundlach Bundschu Pinot Noir – about $30, from California, click here for tasting notes
