What do you look most forward to during Thanksgiving? Whether it is an extra day off to spend with family and friends or stuffing ourselves to the gills, we cannot get enough of this holiday. Not to mention all the prepping we do to discount shop on Black Friday and Cyber Monday while sipping wine and eating shrimp cocktail in front of the TV watching Thanksgiving Day football games. Here are some of the iPhone apps you can use to make sure you survive and thrive during Thanksgiving break.
Delectable Wine (Free)
Thanksgiving and the general holiday season is a great time to start building on your wine knowledge.

It is a fabulous way to save notes on what you like or do not like about each wine. You can also tag friends and family members in notes about each wine so that you can all remember each Thanksgiving who likes to drink merlot or who likes to drink pinot noir. This savvy wine app can definitely help you up your hostess game this holiday season.
