I am not knowledgeable in Proseccos and am looking for recommendations
of good ones as I am considering one for Thanksgiving along with the
usuals to offer more variety.

Bisol makes a couple of very good ones.
Zardetto is one of the most readily available Prosceccos, pretty good
and often on sale for good prices.
I've liked Astoria (cheap) and Mionetta. Nino Franco Rustico can be
very good, though I've experienced what I think are shipping/storage
issues on some.

Nino Franco 'Rustico' is very good, as Dale mentioned, and fairly
inexpensive too. Slightly dry, and very refreshing.

Another I've enjoyed is the Col Vetoraz Prosecco - this one may be a
tad more expensive than the Nino Franco, but it's a really great
quaffer; light, fruity and quite minerally. Not as dry as the other,
and a bit sweeter.

True, Col Vetoraz is a good product. Also Foss Marai produces some quality
prosecco.

Ruggerio makes a nice one, but availability is spotty. Zardetto is
solid and easy to find. The New York Times had a prosecco roundup this
past summer, which listed some recommendations. I might have saved a
copy of it--will look for it later.

I just tried the Ruggerio last night that was shipped from Wine Library.
Quite nice and a good price. Good mousse and almost almond nose with
some lemon peel thrown in.
