White wine is typically paired with turkey. Being a vegetarian I drink a lot of white because it's easily paired with vegetables. I would savor my red for drinking sans meal. However a lot of people are straying from traditional pairings and going with "Drink what you like." With the innovation within the wine industry, it's a-ok.
Since you don't seem to be going the route of White Wine I agree with WillRavel. You can't really go wrong with Pinot Noir. Of the red wines it goes really well with fish or poultry. It won't overpower your mouth. The bird will have a fighting chance to tickle your tastebuds. I also like to call it the gateway red for white drinkers. Oregon has the best pinot!
amonkie's suggestion of asking a wine expert at a wine shop is a great way to go.
Don't forget dessert wines!!!!! Look for something with a bit of acidity to complement the richness of pumpkin pie. Anything that brings out the spices in a pumpkin pie are a plus too. I don't tend to drink wine with dairy desserts...cheesecake....so I would just have coffee, cleanse my palette and then go for a port!
Just drink what you like. You'll never please everyone. If your family is willing to experiment, maybe grab something you've never had. If they are really wine people, they will be open to this idea.
YAY WINE!
