Re: Drunk Thread
I've got some kick ass bottles of wine for Turkey Day. I plan to be in a half-drunk food coma by the time the Broncos-Giants game starts.

Re: Drunk Thread
Hey GMScud, what not so cheap wines would you recommend? I'm not looking to spend over $100 a bottle though, somewhere in the $25-$100 range.

Well, for reds, you generally don't find too many sweet wines. I love Spanish reds, grenache and tempranillo specifically. If you want a delicious red wine that's in the range you're asking about, try Stag's Leap Petit Syrah. It's about $45 a bottle and is really excellent. Freemark Abbey makes a great Merlot that's about $40 a bottle that you'd probably love. For cabernet's, I love Axios. It's about $50 a bottle. As far as white, if you're wife doesn't like fruity and prefers a more crisp wine, I really recommend an albarino or chenin blanc (those are the grape varietals, not brand names). Salneval makes a great albarino, and McKinley Springs (Washington state) makes a fantastic chenin blanc. I would recommend visiting the Margruder's near Chevy Chase Circle. They have an outstanding wine selection, and a very knowledgeable staff. If you walk in there and tell them what you like in a wine and your price range, they'll do you right.

Re: Drunk Thread
just out of curiosity what would make you want to spend around $75 on a bottle of wine?

Seriously though, because it's nice to have a bottle of not so cheap wine for celebration in the event of a special occasion. I'm not going to drink it just for the sake of drinking it. |

Re: Drunk Thread
Just got back from my fiancee's boss' Xmas party. Pretty good time. It was definitely nice to get out of the house after that Gator game. Ugh. I had 4 or 5 miller lite's and a shot of Patron while we watched the Texas-Neb game. Now I'm home and just cracked another beer. It's been a painful day.
