Easy drinking wine for a housewarming

[zenda2]

Ignore this if you've got a small crowd or a high budget, but based on many a 10-20 person housewarming party/bar-b-que I suggest 1.5 liter jugs of Lindemann's Bin 65, Alice White or Rosemont Diamond Chardonnay or Duboeuf's Vin de Pays D'oc Chard won't break the bank, and will mix well with party fare, an extra 750ml bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and a 1.5L jug of Pinot Grigio provides an option for the ABC crowd, Cavit or Folonari are fine.

For reds, I like 1.5L jugs of Yellowtail, Alice White or Rosemont Diamond Shiraz, Walnut Crest Merlot, Concha y Toro Malbec/Syrah blend, C.K. Mondavi Cabernet, Woodbridge Zinfandel. These all go great with grilled meats and 'hearty' foods.

These aren't wines to write home bragging about, just affordable magnum-sized wines to drink and enjoy at parties.
