Matching wine with food

[wineguruchgo]

Although you want to put the pumpkin pie in your son in laws face - why not compromise? Make some wonderful appetizers and ask him to bring the bubbly. Then have a kick-ass Pinot Noir with dinner and some wonderfully juicy port with dessert.

There is a small producer, AF Gros, out of Burgandy that is a stones throw away from Romanee-Conti. I'm not kidding. I could have thrown the rock, but I behaved myself!
They have some wonderful Pinot Noirs that might be a tad pricey, but if the "boy" is dropping a "C" note, you can drop far less and be more impressive!

Just my opinion.
