Hi all - I’m in the Texas Hill Country and I’m having an Italian inspired dinner. Lasagne, Garlic shrimp and Baked Rigatoni on the menu. What is a good red wine? white wine? - that is available around here? Maybe HEB or Western Beverages might carry. I won’t actually have many wine drinkers, but I still want to have some available for those who can appreciate. Thanks!
First off - I’m not Italian… so I’m doing my best wing it. No offense meant to true Italians. It will be buffet style, so I need dishes that I can do ahead on my own. Appreciate the input for both red & white.

Were getting together with our in-laws for New year’s eve. Me and my MIL both really like wine. She told me to bring a wine for us to drink. We both enjoy really, really sweet red dessert wines. I’m bringing one of my favorite wines (Alba Vineyards, blueberry wine), but I also want to bring something new to try. What would we like?
I really like:
Arbor Mist Pinot Noir mixed berry
Alba Vineyards Blueberry wine

I’ve tried Eiswein but didn’t enjoy it because I don’t like the taste of white wine. I’ve tried Port but found the alcohol flavor to be too strong.

I don’t know much about wine so any suggestions for a super sweet red wine would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
If you could name a specific wine with brand it would be greatly appreciated.

What all differences are there in storing procedures and drinking etiquettes between white wine and red wine? I know that red wine shouldn’t be re-corked and stored. Is it the same case for white wine?

I have a stockpile of red wine in the cellar.

I’m reviewing my logic notes from last year and starting at the very beginning. I’m still a little confused about whether or not suggestions or recommendations (given there are premises for those suggestions or recommendations) or personal preferences (given there are reasons for personal preferences as well) are considered arguments. I need help determining whether or not the following are arguments, and it would also be really helpful if you could state the premises and conclusion. I have a vague idea but I’m not sure it’s correct. Thank you!

1. Raspberry Surprise ice cream has big chunks of real fruit! What a combination! Rich ice cream with delicious fruit; it’s my all-time favorite ice cream.

2. In order to make your computer produce high-quality graphics you must have the right software, plus a graphics card; you will also need a printer that has the capacity to print in many shapes and shades. In fact, a color printer works best.

3. I hereby leave my books, my computer, and my bottlecap collection to my cousin George Jefferies, because of all my relatives he is the one who has been kindest of me.

4. When you are cooking fettucine alfredo, be careful not to overcook the pasta. If the pasta is overcooked, it will stick together, and the sauce will not spread evenly over the pasta. Also, I recommend that you serve a green salad with the fettucine, and be sure to have plenty of red wine.

5. I like the way the Modern Jazz Quartet plays. They have a cool, tight, almost dispassionate style. It projects a sense of tremendous energy being held tautly in check. And the drums, bass, vibes, and piano work together so perfectly that sometimes it i impossible to tell where one stops and the other starts.

6. To be successful in your critical thinking course, it is important to do as many exercises as possible. It would also help a lot to read the chapters in the text, perhaps even a couple of times. And attending class regularly wouldn’t hurt.
In response to Ardi: While I appreciate the time you’ve put into answering, I’m not confused about the modus tollens arguments used in the examples you’ve provided. What I’m confused about (as previously mentioned) is whether or not a personal preference or suggestion is being "argued" for in assuming there are premises for their reasoning. Would their suggestion or preference then suffice as a conclusion? That is what I’m questioning. Though basic definitions, argument fallacies, etc. are all very interesting (and something I’ve studied in logic), I was hoping someone would address my question more specifically.

I had some leftover table-red wine from a recent party (about a case and a half). It accidently got stored at room temperature for a week instead of in the basement. The bottles were screw tops and the wine was unopened. Some of the bottles had been previously chilled during the party. When I opened one of the bottles today the wine seemed slightly brown and tasted off. I didn’t think it could have gone bad so quickly. Is this a storage issue or could the wine have already been bad? THANKS!!
