So what would YOU serve with smoked turkey?

Whoa, forget the umlaut discussion, you don't want to get this Southern boy started on using the word "BBQ'! :)

I like beer, but the hostess asked me for wine. The Riesling went well, the Rhone was opened later.

Yeah, I wasn't suggesting that you show up with beer. My comment was more of an aside for those of the group who might not have tried beer as an alternative for wine at a "civilized" dinner with smoked meats. (Also broiled steaks.)

Glad you found the right wine.
