I want to make my girlfriend a little dinner, but we both live in the res halls at our school and my RA is pretty anal about alcohol. Don’t get me wrong, I love wines, but you know how it is. Also, I’m not even sure if my girlfriend likes wine, what’s a nice alternative to have in case we can’t have it at her place or she doesn’t like wine?
I am holding a wine tasing party and have never done it before. We are trying to start out cheap in case we dont like wine. Here is a list of the wines we will be taste testing. What food would be good to have with them?
1. Cisco
2. MD 20/20
3. Night Train
4. Thunderbird
5.Wild Irish Rose
I don’t know anything about wines. But I’m going out with somebody to dinner. And I don’t want to sound like an idiot when it is time to order wine. So what’s like a regular wine I can order, that will make me sound regular like I know what I’m talking about. And won’t cause the waiter to ask me any additional follow up questions that will expose the fact that I have no idea what I’m doing?
Maybe give me more than 1 option just in case
We were moving across the country in May and, unexpectedly, all of our things were dropped from a climate-controlled semi into storage locker with no climate controls for 3 months. There were over 30 days of high heat and humidity (90+ degrees F) during that time, doubtless much hotter in the storage locker.
We had 10 cases of wine. At the "low" end were Shafer bottles that we had 3 years into a 5 year maturation period. At the high end were 10-20 year old Gaja Barbarescos. In between we had Rieslings from the best German providers, Cabs from the best Napa vineyards, and some other assorted + wines. Additionally we had in there some fine Scotches that I assume are fine.
We assume the wine is all destroyed but I am kind of hoping beyond hope that some of it might be reclaimable. Thanks in advance.
I know some wines are produced in Germany and Austria, and some cheese too, but that is nothing compared to what is fond in France, Italy or Spain (in quantity and variety)
Why is that?
WInes from the Yadkin valley vineyards.
I am looking at presenting a gift idea to a wine client and I don’t want to look foolish. Are wines released throughpout the year or is it like a car that the new ones come out every October?
I am wanting some Iowa wines for Christmas. BUT, Iowa law does not allow them to ship wines directly to Texas. I am over 21, and can send my DL - thats not the issue. The issue is interstate wine laws. However, they CAN ship to Ill. I am thinking of having the wine shipped to a Mail Boxes Etc. type store in Chicago where they can repack it and ship it to me in Houston. But, to assure the store owner/manager in Chicago that I am not pulling something illegal I would love to be able to show them that shipping wine from IL to Texas is not illegal. Does anybody have a link or something that can give the store owner that assurance so they will act as my intermediate with confidence? If you can post a link or resource, I’d be so thankful!!!
Please stop posting BS. There are laws regarding shipping wine across state lines and it has nothing to do with prohibition.
Wanted to know if I could find one that I can say, "oh look wines from orange co. Va in 2006 was a great year for Cab Franc etc". years to hold, years to drink and or hold. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated
Hi all, I want to give my professor and project guide a box of chocolate and a bottle of wine but I want to gift something that is not available in local stores (obviously!). Can you please give me some premium chocolate brand names and wines? Thanks.
