If you can get a red and white wine....I personally prefer red wine with dinner. Plus always get a dessert wine for your guests.
Everyone has their own preference so get a couple different kinds if you can.

Depends on what you are serving.
If its the traditional fare (turkey, mashed potatoes, greens, cranberry sauce), then I'd suggest either a nice Washington state Pinot Noir or a French Chardonnay.
Both will hold up well to the variety of flavors offered at Thanksgiving.
