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.

I don't understand the popularity of Apothic Red.

I was also going to say Alamos.

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

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

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

I am a cab person so I have a tendency to lean towards Worthy, Decoy or Ghost Pine.

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!

I like the Naked Merlot lately. Under $15.

Hillinger Secco

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

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!
