poll Having a party at home and want to offer good wine without breaking the bank? It’s easy. You most certainly have a few options, you can get the huge 1.5 liter bottles or the large box wines, or you can impress and get easy drinking, compatible wines that even your most wine loving guests can appreciate.
When shopping for a wine to serve at a party, I am looking for good flavor that works with most foods, something readily available, good value and something that appeals to the majority of my attendees and I don’t want to spend more than $10 a bottle! I think Cabernets from California’s Central Coast fit this bill. While there are quite a few out there, I think the Cupcake Cabernet Sauvignon offers the right balance. It’s fruity, yet earthy, with a touch of vanilla and mocha and a silky smooth finish making it very easy to drink. Not only that, it tastes elegant with cheese, filet mignon, right up to honey based desserts! And for those drinkers who stick to wine all night, they are in for a real treat.
Since not everyone appreciates reds, you may also want to offer a nice white that proposes similar style. I like Ruffino’s Lumina Pinot Grigio. It’s a lively, medium body white wine that presents citrus and pear flavor and even a slight bubbly feel on the palette. Again, this makes it very easy to pair well with almost any type of food from light to heavy and is sure to appeal to any white wine lover. My guess is that with the growing popularity of these two wines, they won’t stay around the $10 price point for too long, so you may want to take this opportunity to host your next event with these fine wine options
. Happy Drinking!
