Red wines and many white wines should never be chilled... Cabs and Pinots should always be at room temp and you should open the bottle several hours before you are going to drink it. I know people that open all their wine bottles up at 10 AM and let them breathe all day for a party at 7pm. You would be surprised how much better even cheap wine will taste when allowed to breathe properly.

good call. i have a couple good friends that work at Rodney Strong and they produce some all-around good wines.

i looked in there fridge, and i see in there a wine called "fitzer"

they also *SOmetimes* ( not often ) drinks shardenay (sp) it's pronounced sharduhhney...

i'm considering spending $60, but i'm guessing that they like white wine a bit more. I just want something that will make there holiday really enjoyable, something that tastes good. My parents arn't into alcahol really, but i'm sure they'd enjoy a nice bottle of wine ( they have in the past )

peace

but em a couple fortys, and tell em to be grateful ;)

haha
yeah

they'd disown me if i did that, and with the forty... i might as well throw in a couple of rap cd's and blunts ;-)

its actually Fetzer and Chardonnay

if they like chards ill tell you what to get...

Ferrari-Carano Chardonnay
Rodney Strong Chardonnay
Murphy-Goode Chardonnay 'Reserve'

...three really good Sonoma wines.

^lol. anyways, do you have a trader joe's nearby, because they will steer you in the right direction. just because a wine is expensive, does not mean it is good.

The rodney strong "Alexander's Crown" is only $30. Wine prices have come down a little in the last couple of years and that is a very good price. I dont recomend the "Sonoma County" though which is like 10 bucks cheaper. I dont know why but I really dont like it. The difference in the two is night and day and well worth the extra $10.

The Alexander's Crown is one of my favorite wines of all time.
