Lucy
For my dad? I am 19, so obviously too young to buy it. I plan on giving my mom the money to buy it for me, then give it to my dad. I don't know much about wine, about how much is a decent bottle of wine.
Thanks.
Am i allowed in a wine shop?
Answer
Wine is a good gift for those who like it. Do you know what kind of wine your Dad likes? Is it white, red, rose? Is it California , French, Chilean or Australian? and what type? If you have these answers go to an established (usually smaller) store and ask for advise. Price may play a role, but not always. You can get a good wine bottle for $10 to $25. Yes, there are wines sold where the bottle costs several hundred dollars; they are usually famous, but not necessarily better.

Which wine is good for a dinner party gift?
Richard A
I want to take a bottle of wine for a dinner party gift. Which one is good? I am looking for something that's cheap and a reasonable quality. It's basically for a friend's dad. It's just a very informal party, a get-together rather.
Also when I present the bottle to the host, is it considered ok to give it with the paper wrap or it doesn't matter?
Answer
I would give the wine in a decorative wine bag (you can find cute ones at dollar stores) or not in any bag at all.
Some good choices:
Beringer 2005 Knights Valley Alluvium Blanc - White Wine
A wonderful blend of Semillion and Sauvignon Blanc. The 2005 Alluvium Blanc exchibits lush fruit flavors of tropical fruit, floral, and lemon-verbana aromas. (around $10)
Columbia Winery 2006 Gewurztraminer
Pale straw yellow color. Hints of allspice and pink grapefruit accent the sweet fruit palate. Crisp finish with a good balance of acidity. Versatile with food, especially with spicy. (around $10)
Las Rocas de San Alejandro 2005 Garnacha - Grenache Red Wine This Grenache is made from vines that are 70 to 100 years old grown in high altitude vineyards of Spain. Enjoy enticing aromas of firsch, raspberries, and pepper. This balanced, full flavored wine is rated 90 by Robert Parker. (around $10 - A great deal)
