T'is the season. What is your go-to wine to bring to a dinner party/event, how much does it cost, and do you also typically drink this at home?
Thanks! |

| I've been bringing a lot of Malbec recently because I find it's very drinkable and well priced. The brands I'm reaching for are Alamos and Maipe, both from Argentina and priced in the $11-13 range at Total Wines. |

It's delicious and about $14 a bottle at Total Wine. |

| I like the Naked Merlot lately. Under $15. |

Depending on the year, I LOVE Barboursville Pinot Grigio and I like to bring that because it's a Virginia wine. 2009 and 2012 were great years for that wine, but I found I didn't care for the 2013 (think it was just too wet that year). Hoping the 2014 is good!

| Does anyone have an opinion on the J. Lohr cabernet? |

Love Apothic Red! I usually bring something that someone has left at my house. My friends will drink anything. |

That's a great one. I like Fat Bastard Chardonnay for a white. |

I was also going to say Alamos. |

I don't understand the popularity of Apothic Red.

| I like to bring Virginia wine. For white, generally a viognier. For red, either petit verdot or tannat, which I believe are far better reds in Virginia than the cab franc-based "Bordeaux blends" everyone is trying to make. Favorites are Pearmund, White Hall, Veritas, Narmada, Michael Shaps, Horton, and Breaux. |
