Wine recommendations?

[fastpitch]

Hi,
I am a wine newbie. I am wanting to serve a
variety of wines for Thanksgiving. I thought
that would be an ideal time to start.

What 4 or 5 varieties should I consider?

I am thinking about a Zin, Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer, mavbe a Sauvignon Blanc and whatever else anyone suggests.

I would like to keep spending at around $8-15
a bottle. Unless there is a variety everyone
thinks I need to add and it costs more.

I did pick up a Bogle 99 Zin and a Concha y Toro Xplorador 2000 chardonnay. I don't know if those were wise choices or not.

I would like 3-4 choices for each variety since we don't have the greatest wine selection.

Am i asking for too much?

Add a Beaujolais Nouveau and a Riesling to your list.

Thanksgiving tables are so eclectic that trying to match a wine with the fare is difficult. The Gewurtz would be fine, in my humble opinion as would be the two suggested above.
