I'm cooking dinner for a friend tonight.
She loves having a glass over dinner, but unfortunately I know nothing about wine.

Any recommendations on what I could get to impress her? Like what are your favorites, I'm looking to get into wine tasting too.

Sorry if this is not the right place to post this, I couldn't find any other sub-forums.

Thanks.

Did some research and I think i'm going with

Swanson Alexis, 2010

Will start checking around to see if I can find it.

Keep in mind if someone were to give you the most critically acclaimed wine in the world, both you and your friend would likely spit it out

Due to the high tannin levels and some of the complexities and nuances within the wine, it takes a trained or at the very least accustomed palate

That being said the high ratings on wine may not be what you're looking for, but it would be much easier to provide you with a food pairing if you were to let us know what meal you will be cooking for your guest

also keep in mind it depends what the food is. let us know what youre serving and we can make a wine suggestion.

seven deuce off suit all in

yes what are you cooking ? seafood a nice white wine, steaks usually pair with red

pepperjack 2012 shiraz or mcguigans black label cheap and goes good with food both red wine, if you want to woo her get some oysters and rich cheeses
