What are you pouring for Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving is my favorite day of the year, and being a wine geek I love selecting the wines to go with dinner.
This year my wife and I are having four adults and four small children as guests. So I need enough wine for 6 adults. I think 3 bottles should be enough. These are people who know a good wine when they taste one, but aren't what you'd call connoisseurs. So while I want to serve good wines, I'm not going to break out my best bottles. Here's what I have selected (2 reds and 1 white):
2015 Ojai Vineyard ‘Kick On Vineyard’ Riesling
2014 Lea ‘Santa Rita Hills’ Pinot Noir
2015 Kivelstadt ‘Father's Watch’ (Rhone-style red blend)
After our guests are gone, assuming those bottles are empty, I plan on opening a 2013 Jonata “Todos” (red blend)
So how about you? What will you be serving?

I'll be at the cowgirl game so plenty of bud lights.
Saturday we'll eat turkey with friends and pour most likely some Michael David stuff, lamarca, and plenty of whiskey.

I will pour something good and expensive for myself on Thanksgiving night. As for the 20+ people I will have over for lunch, they will get Beaujolais Nuveau. Sorry to sound like Scrooge, but that is what that stuff is for. 
Edit to add a smiley face although I am not really joking.

Not wine, that’s for damn sure.
Unfortunately, my birthday is on Thanksgiving Day. So I’ll have to spend it with my parents who will want to open a bottle of bad champagne. I’ll be sure to drink some good beer that night. Maybe I’ll open up my bottle of barrel aged Grand Reserve from Parish.

Probably pick up a decent non-sweet Riesling and maybe a Gewürztraminer. Our crowd are not big drinkers, so anything fancier would be a waste. May hit some better stuff after I get home.

Have to go to family about an hour away this year, so will not be drinking as much as when I host. Usually have a zin, a Rhone, and a pinot gris or similar. This year though I am thinking of bringing a few bottles of Chateau St. Michelle's 50th Anniversay cab. Have you tried it? Only $12.99 in NOLA but like all their stuff the quality far exceeds the price. Its legs go on for days.
Edit-looks like $12.99 price was an error because online price at winery is $50.

I actually just made my decision. Anyone ever tried Cooper and Thief Red Blend 2014?
I like the novelty and the fact that contains more alcohol than I've ever seen in a wine.
Supposedly one of the hottest wines between $20-40 right now.

The wife and I are doing a low-key Thanksgiving - just the two of us this year.
Got a bottle of Bordeaux and a bottle of The Prisoner, and I'll probably sip on Basil Haydens during the day while watching football.
