JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Mother-in-law partial to reds, particularly Merlot. Most of the rest of us are more white wine folks although prefer not-so-dry. Thoughts on some nice wines to try? I'll be wine shopping this evening... PS - I'm leaning toward a Riesling for the white bottle.
mead107 Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Cakebread is very good. You would make her very happy.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted November 27, 2013 Author Posted November 27, 2013 Cakebread is very good. You would make her very happy. Did I mention I'd rather not spend $50/bottle?

Not big on white wine but will certainly drink it if it's there. My mom, sister, and g/f all enjoy the Relax Riesling. Also, Apothic White seems to be a consensus pick for them as well.

Thoughts on some nice wines to try? I'll be wine shopping this evening... PS - I'm leaning toward a Riesling for the white bottle. I just picked up a couple bottles of Ghost Pines for tomorrow. It's a California red blend (can't remember the particular grapes) and wherever I bring it people rave. It's about $20 and well worth it. I'm no sommelier or even that knowledgeable about wines, but I think it's delicious. I found this... Ghost Pines red blend draws from multiple winegrowing regions counties to create a wine as unique as the Ghost Pine itself. Composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, Merlot, and Syrah this wine exhibits rich flavors of red and blue fruit framed by soft, round tannins with a long, complex finish.
PaattMaann Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Casillero Del Diablo has several delicious reds - cab, merlot, blend....highly recommend and the price cannot be beat (10 dollars a bottle)
theesir Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Jay, If you are looking for something to go with dinner, I would recommend a Sauvignon Blanc, especially if you are considering a Reisling. If you want to get a red, something lighter than a Merlot, like a Pinot Noir would be good as well.
Kevin Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Thunderbird would make a lasting impression on your mother-in-law. It's cheap too!

rockpile Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) I like Morse Code Shiraz. Edited November 28, 2013 by rockpile
Just Jack Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 I'm a fan of Open. As in, if the bottle is open, I like it.
plenzmd1 Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 We always have to have some of the Nouveau...goes pretty well with Turkey actually http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaujolais_nouveau
mead107 Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Well, what did you end up with? You did not buy the Cakebread because you do not like her? You could have made some good points with her. LOL
Corp000085 Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 I drank through my stash of saranac and hit the labatt last night to dull my senses. Today I feel great and I'm ready for whatever wine my MIL buys today. Either way, I will need something to relax
CowgirlsFan Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Edna Valley Vineyard 2001 Chardonnay is the wine for my turkey.
