Need List of Good Wines

[wineguruchgo]

Hello Breezo,

In truth, I wouldn't spend a lot of money on a bottle of wine if she "still drinks crap wine". It sounds as if either of you won't appreciate it.

Why not buy a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Champagne? Little bit of strawberries and you're on your way.

Some of the bigger wines are for a "seasoned" palate and she might not like it and you're out a bunch of money. Also, the wines such as Mondavi Reserve and Cinq Cepages need close to an hour to open before you drink it. There is a lot to know to truly appreciate wine for all it has to offer.

I would stick with the lower priced, approachable wines, until you know exactly what she likes.

JMHO!
