A bottle of red....A bottle of white

WINE TALK
1

A friend is having a BBQ and asked me what wines he should buy - getting about two cases of each. He wants a crowd pleasing white and red for about $10 a bottle. Any thoughts?

2

R~St. Cosme Little James Basket Press

W~Botromagno Gravina

3

Red: 06 L. Martini Sonoma Cab

White: 07/08 Kim Crawford SB

(both are around $12 but can be had for $10 on sale)

So far these wines are, but these wines have to be readily available.

I’d take your friend to Costco, buy everything that qualifies and open them up. Costco does a pretty good job, IMHO, and in the People’s Republic it’s hard to do better.

Readily available:

R: Jaboulet Cotes du Rhone “Parallele 45”
W: Lindeman’s Chardonnay Bin 65

Any idea if the attendees are into wine or not? I was going to also suggest the Little James Basket Press, but then wondered if the old world style might be meant with disappointment if the wine drinkers are familiar only with newer world wines.

In other words, the Ch. St. Cosme LJBP is a dynamite QPR, but would its style be lost on the audience expecting K-J saying the get this St. Cosme stuff outta here?

Red: Cline Zinfandel

White: Chalone Chardonnay

ok, let me be more eloquent for Senor Ricca

So far, those bottles that have been suggested are readily available and this is a good thing b/c in my first post, I forgot to say that this was a condition. So, those who would like to recommend more wines, please make sure that they also will be readily available.


Better Ricca? [emot-words.gif] [emot-words.gif] [emot-words.gif]
