Reliable wines to serve at dinners

[Anonymous]

I really like this one and can usually manage to find it on sale (in Canada but I'm sure it's similar in the US). It works with pretty much any food that pairs well with white wine to start with.

Otherwise, just go to your local store and ask for recommendations. The more you try, the more you'll discover your preferences and it'll get easier to know what you like with a certain degree of consistency.

Lan Rioja

Marques de Caceres

Both very reliable reds.

Sauvignon Blancs from New Zealand have been very good lately. Trader Joe's has a few that are light and very drinkable on their own or with food.

Just saw that someone upthread made the same recommendation! I just discovered these wines and am hooked.

Another recc for these--so good!

Apothic Red is also excellent (I find their white too sweet).

Reisling or Pinot Blanc

Wegmans has a great selection and helpful employees.

OP here: thank you for all the suggestions. I usually go to a wine store and ask but in this case I want to amass a few bottles of each type just to have on hand that paid with a wider variety of food (blasphemy I know, but I am a wine been)

I really like alamos Malbec (2014). I'm far from a wine expert, but I keep coming back to it. Usually about $11.

Any Moscato or Riesling. Even non-wine drinkers typically enjoy those.

OP here , whenever I serve Rieslings folk complain they are too sweet.

You could try something on the less sweet end of the scale like a Gewürztraminer.

Decoy, Truth, Stag's Leap (cab) or a nice Sancerre for white

Tastes like Kool aid. And I know it costs like 9 bucks at CVS. If you're going cheap at least go obscure

These recommendations are mostly terrible. Go to Total Wine and talk to people, or pick out staff picks in your comfortable price point. Find something that is not available at 7-11.
