[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Just go to Total Wine and ask for recommendations [/b]within your price range. Staff there is knowledgeable and helpful. But, it'll be totally random if you don't know anything about the recipient's preferences - white, red, or rose? Champagne? Dry or not so dry? Preferences for country/regions of origin? [/quote] I have been told that the staff at Total Wine stores are only permitted to recommend "Winery Direct" wines (sold under various brand labels". Some like to buy one bottle of red wine & one bottle of white white as a gift. For an easy drinking red wine, consider a Beaujolais (from France). One brand of Cabernet sauvignon that is well respected is Caymus. Silver Oak is another. My favorite was Opus One until they changed the mixture a decade or so ago. Have not tasted the new Opus One--but it is expensive (about $400 a bottle).[/quote]
