Choosing Wine on a First Date





src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">


First dates are nerve wracking enough without having to worry about what wine to choose to impress your new friend...



One of the great things about wine on a date is that one bottle is a defined amount, normally about five glasses. If shared equally it is unlikely that you will fall off your chair drunk after half a bottle of wine!  


However, there are some other social sins that can be committed whilst hoosing wine on a date. 


Getting Started 


First, you need to decide whether you want white, red, ros? or sparkling wine. This is perhaps the most important decision. As a general rule, red wine is more of an acquired taste and it can be harder to select a good red. Therefore, when you do not know your companion?s tastes it may be wise to steer clear of the red wine section. 


Sparkling wine can make you appear a little pretentious or if you go for a cheaper version, a tightwad; so this is usually best avoided. If you are not sure whether your companion likes wine at all, ros? wine is often a safe option as it often lacks the sharpness that people commonly dislike in wines. 


How Much to Spend? 


Remember more money doesn?t always mean more quality. If you are very new to wine, go for a house white. A house white is unlikely to be extremely imaginative or unusual, but is almost always perfectly drinkable. For this reason it is a safe, middle of the road option. 


If you want to impress, look for something other than the house white. Keep away from extremes until you know your companion a little better, so don?t go for bone dry whites. Instead, opt for a fruity dry wine that appeals to those who like both dry and medium whites.  


Whilst neutral wines may seem like a bit of a cop-out, bear in mind that you simply want a drinkable wine that does not offend.  


If you are really not sure what to choose, why not offer your companion a choice of glasses as an aperitif while you have a beer or spirit. This way you can judge your companion?s taste. Even if they select a spirit, you can still get a measure of whether they prefer sweet or dry wines. 


Of courseArticle Submission, you could always give your companion the choice?

Know Valvin Muscat? Hunt Country Vineyards Does.

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 06:57:24 PDT
By Jason Feuler, Finger Lakes Correspondent Last weekend I attended a reception at Hunt Country Vineyards on the northwestern tip of Keuka's left branch to celebrate the first available vintage of Valvin Muscat. This hybrid is, like the name implies, a genetic relative of the ancient and prolific muscat grape which is grown the world over, but usually in warmer climates. The few muscats I've had in the past were aromatic, food-friendly whites with good balance. How does its cousin compare? A

From the Vine: Pioneer Wine Trail

As part of our celebration of Michigan Wine Month, Absolute Michigan will be featuring excerpts on each of Michigan's five wine trails (and one taking you beyond the trails) from the Michigan Notable Book award-winning From the Vine: Exploring Michigan Wineries by Sharon Kegerreis and Lorri Hathaway. Over the years, the best vintners in the Old World discovered that the finest wines were produced from grapes grown on south-facing hillsides. These hillsides provided the best sun exposure for th

This is one of my favorites--here's how I make broccoli salad: fresh broccoli fresh cauliflower sunflower seeds raisins Bacos or real bacon pieces red onion (chopped) Miracle Whip Lite or mayonnaise red wine vinegar Splenda Cut up the broccoli and cauliflower into small bite-size pieces and put into a bowl. Put in enough mayonnaise to cover it all, add a splash of red wine vinegar and a couple of packets of Splenda. (No, I don't really measure any of it. :D) Stir it all up and thro

This has been one weird week. One that really shouldn't have been bothered with. Last weekend, after we got back from London, the boys went to their dad's for the second week of the school holidays. You know me when it comes to not having the boys, I can go a bit wild. After walking constantly for two days over London then Chessington, then working in the pub on Saturday, partying Saturday night (which involved lots of dancing), kept on partying all day Sunday, through to the night, then goin
