Any of the Menage a Trois wines, red or white, are reliably good. My new favorite is Mark West Pinot Noir. These run about $10. give or take, and they are good. If your friends drink Moscato or White Zinfandel, they won't know any better anyway.
15 to 20 bucks for a bottle of wine? Trader Joe's has a wide variety of wines in the 7 dollar range that are good and get respectable reviews on the internet.
This is fairly true, although we're not talking about everyday drinking wine here. It's a gift. Where I come from you don't need to be extravagant with gifts, but you don't cheap out either.
Look at it this way, she doesn't know what her sister drinks or whether she even likes wine. But on the off chance she knows something about wine, the impression a $15 bottle makes over a $7 bottle says a lot.
Better to be safe than insulting. We're talking $8.00.
I would hate to receive anything bubbly myself, it's big time headache material as far as I'm concerned . I also wouldn't go for a rose (pink) wine.
I'd go for either a Pinot Grigio (white) or a Cabernet Sauvignon (red).
A decent, inexpensive wine that most people like is Apothic red, and a wine I really love, that is a bit more upscale, is "The Show" (the cab sauvignon) - I have yet to meet a person who dislikes the later - even people who generally drink heavier reds enjoy it.
I'm an occasional wine drinker and have come to like Cupcake merlot. Not to be confused with the very expensive Cakebread brand. I've found it at local grocery stores and even a CVS. It's not quite a $15 bottle but still pretty good as far as I am concerned. I'd rather have a good cheap wine than an average-tasting $20 bottle. But that's just me. They also make a Pinot Grigio that isn't too bad.
I learned (watching Shark Tank) that COSTCO is the LARGEST BUYER/SELLER OF WINES IN THE WORLD!
Whooda thunk????
supposedly the premier Costco's for wine are the Redwood City store (near Silicon Valley in NorCal) and the Scottsdale outlet (in Arizona's golf/resort capitol). Between the 2 of them they're supposed to move more fine wine than the majority of NY's retail shops combined.
