I am not a wine connoisseur. On the contrary, I am a broke-as-a-joke cook who sometimes picks up a bottle at the grocery to complement(??? I hope!) my dinner selection for the evening.
Since I don't know what I am doing but am not yet ready to commit to wine-tasting courses or throw myself into the hands of my local merchant who needs a buck as badly as I do, I thought I'd confer with friends...in an organized sort of way.
So, I made up a basic, writable word file and e-mailed it to some friends who seem to appreciate adult grape juice, and included 3 basic rules:
-Give us your name (so we know whose comments we are reading)
-Just give us info ONLY on the wine you are drinking tonight (or drank last night), so we can be assured that the info is fresh in your memory and not some clouded rendition of a memorable evening 2 weeks ago. This also keeps us from having an unwieldy laundry-list of only one person's selections.
-Give us pertinent info...winery name, vintage, region, price, varietal, etc.
That's it...that's all. Can't wait for the advice to start pouring in.

Consulting my wine app, then I'll get back to you, BUT, Mad Housewife is a really decent red and it isn't expensive. It's fun and silly so it makes a good dinner host gift as well.
