ok I am having turkey burgers, beef burgers, potato salad and fruit salad for dessert.
What wines would be best here? One red, one white and one for dessert??

I would go for a blush or a white zin to cover it all and forget a dessert wine
(Psst! DeLoach makes a fabulous white zin)

First of all, burgers are not a BBQ. Burgers are grilled not barbecued. Second, whether it's a barbecue, a smoker, or a grill, it's a back yard get-together and beer is a better choice than wine. I'd rather juggle a beer bottle than a wine glass on the back patio.
Save the wine for the fancy dinner table meals.

A really nice white is Conundrum. Personally I drink champagne with everything even beef burgers. I like Cuvee M by Mumm Napa Valley for a casual picnic. It's not expensive. A really nice red zinfandel (NOT white zinfandel) would go well with burgers as well. I like a good muscat or late harvest zinfandel for dessert. Do everyone a favor and don't serve cheap nasty wine; all it's good for is a hangover.

You could get a nice Merlot or Shiraz for the reds(serve room temp.), and then a white wine chilled Chardonnay and a white Zinfandel for later.. or you could go with a cordial for dessert, like a Baileys, or Kahlua and coffee, or if you want to spend some bucks, get Grand Marnie'. Hope you have a great BBQ! Happy Labor day!

Somehow I would expect to have a glass of wine with a turkey burger and potato salad. I would have an assortment of cans of soda buried in ice. If you insist on wines, I would just buy some Boone's Farm. That is about the only cheap fruity wine that I can think of that would go with your menu.

Check out Beringer Third Century merlot,pinot noir and cabernet sauvignon for red wines and a chardonnay for a white wine.

A good "general" burgundy like Gallo or Franzia.....cheap...
A white Zinfandel for the turkey crowd....not pink....too sweet.
Mavrodaphne (sp?) Greek desert wine is great with fruit

make some sangria then you can skip the fruit salad, it's light and fruity and fun
