Author Message Lizzie Yahoo User Posted: Tue May 29, 2007 3:34 pm    Post subject: Good Wine as a gift? I am not a wine drinker and some close friends of ours are giving us a couples wedding shower so I want to bring them an appreciation gift (aka a bottle of wine!) We are BBQ'ing, brisket, chicken, etc.... What is the name of a good wine that would go with this type of meal? I want to bring one as a gift and the other to drink that day. The men will probally be drinking beer.Thanks. Back to top otc108 Yahoo User Posted: Tue May 29, 2007 3:37 pm    Post subject: Try out Smoking Loon's Cabernet Savignon. It's excellent.

They are not particularly expensive but tend to be good. Back to top jessicapace90 Yahoo User Posted: Tue May 29, 2007 3:39 pm    Post subject: For the men go with Samuel Adams. For the women go with White Zinfandel. Back to top Monty Yahoo User Posted: Tue May 29, 2007 3:40 pm    Post subject: Normally, reds go better with beef and whites go better with chicken. When considering whether a wine is "good" or not, the vintage (year the grapes were harvested) is far more important than the brand name or winery.2005 was a good year for French Bordeaux2001 was a great year for California Cabernet SauvignonAny year is a good year for Malbec from Argentina.If it matters that much to you, pick up a copy of the latest Wine Spectator magazine and they'll have some decent picks.

Cost wise it's a good buy, I like the Piniot Girgio it works very well with chicken. Enjoy!

I'm going to assume your barbecue will be the sort that people in Memphis, Chicago or Kansas City would tolerate, and not that ridiculous white stuff Carolinians think is barbecue, for instance.A zinfandel (red, definitely not white) might work with the brisket, but a barbera or even a lambrusco will probably work out better. For the chicken, I'd suggest a sauvignon blanc, one of the balanced ones like Frances Ford Coppola's, not the really grassy ones. Back to top
