Wine help

To keep it simple, I would get 14 Hands Red Blend and the White Blend, both good WA wine. Or for White's get a Hoage Cellars Pinot Gree but stick with the 14 Hands Red.

"CMS"....a red blend of cab/merlot/syrah is another good one, costco and most stores carry it.

A lot of good suggestions. Wine is much like micro-brew beer; everyone has their own favorites and sometimes others agree with the choices. I personally like blended reds and could care less about whites except for Rieslings.

I wouldn’t advise anything with 2020 on it, just saying.

My post was an attempt at a satire.🤣

Pasek Cellars has some nice wines, Cranberry, Blackberry, Loganberry, and Pineapple which I haven’t tried.

You’ll have a dry crowd and a sweet crowd.   Most of the ladies at my table like the Riesling’s, and the Blushes.  They are the sweeter variety. 

My favorite besides my house wine (homemade) is Latahs creek huckleberry.   It’s not easy to come by. 

Definitely good to have a variety and a bottle of wine goes pretty fast

Latahs creek huckleberry is the wife’s favorite.

Whenever we host we always make sure to include a bottle of Beringer white zinfandel in the selection and have another bottle in reserve because it always seems to be a popular choice for holiday gatherings.

It really depends on the food and the people that will be drinking. I work in the food industry so I have had to do my fair share of suggesting wines based off little more than someones food order, my picks would be:

Reds:
Dusted Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
 Tenshen Red Blend
 Peppebridge Trine, or Cabernet ( a little more pricy)
Pascual Toso Malbec
 Head 2 Head red (Sangiovese and syrah blend that I remember was quiet nice).
Lighter reds:
Lange Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
Skylark Red Belly
If you want to get fancy a 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape is hard to beat, (ooo la la French)

Whites:
Kestrel makes a decent C*censored*nay.
Nice French Whites: Pouilly-Fuisse Marie Antoinette(C*censored*nay)
Pouilly Fume (Sauvignon Blanc)
You can also look for a "maconaise" or "Macon" wine. Tell people you picked up a little white burgundy and they'll ooh and ah.

Total Wine is a good place, as is Central Market for the more specialty stuff.

Just get a box of red and a box of white they have nice spigots you can drink straight from. Saves on dirty dishes.

I am gonna laugh about that all day.    The filter did a funny

[Huntnfish89]

Haha autocorrect and filters have put me in some pretty akward positions that's for sure.

Zack brown the singer produces 2 red wines a red blend and a Cab. and are labeled Z. Alexander Brown and are very good (safeway) and Dunham cellars out of Walla Walla also very good a little more expensive than Z. Brown

[ASHQUACK]

Latah Creek Pinot Gris is an outstanding wine to serve with a typical t-day dinner. Their Huck is another fantastic choice but is considered by most as a desert wine.

[Buckmark]

I have heard that a nice Chianti pars well with liver and fava beans

[Stein]

Get some Chuck and a nice crystal decanter.

When we host, guests usually bring the wine.  When we travel, I usually go for one very nice bottle over several ok bottles.
