Christmas Gift Help: Wine

[Mvp2014]

yellow tail has a good merlot and their pinot grigio is a good white. Barefoot is usually good as well.

Okay, gathered some more intel from the sister. The mom and dad have opposite tastes in wine. He likes red wine (cabernet or pinot noir) and she likes sweet stuff like riesling and her favorite in some called two dog blue or something like that. Then she goes on to say it may be better to get the dad red wine and the mom a poinsettia or something.

Do you mean 'Our Dog Blue'? That is an incredibly sweet Riesling from Chateau Morisette in Virginia. I went to VT and Blacksburg is only about 45 mins from that vineyard...the wine is actually pretty good for what you are looking for...cheap too. It is usually in stock at Total Wine (at least the one off of Woodlawn in Charlotte)

From a red standpoint at that price point, go bold and get the Milton Park Shiraz from Australia. It is only 9.99 and is great for that price....another sure-fire Total Wine purchase.

Let them know just how cheap a drunk their daughter is.

This.

I'll vouch for this. Francis Ford Coppola wines are a quality brand at a reasonable price.

Thanks for the help everyone! This has helped me narrow down from hundreds to about ten or so.

I assume so. I'm gonna verify.

For the money, they are hard to beat.

Also there is a pretty good chance that the father is a big fan of his movies. It will give you something to talk about.

Too yeasty for me!

Thats what he said!

Thanks for everyone's help. Went by Total Wine and got the Our Dog Blue for the mom. I was a retard and didn't write down any of your suggestions, but I did take the suggestion of asking the guy who worked there what he recommended on the red wine. I got 2008 Belle Glos Meiomi Pinot Noir. He said it was part of the Caymus family (didn't know what the Hell he was talking about, but apparently that was supposed to be a good thing).

Now drink half the bottle and give them the rest.

[TarPanther9180]

Or drink all of it and fill it with kool aid.
