The VP and I are having some company over in December for a dinner party. I don't know much about wines and I could use some help. Any suggestions for a good red wine? Don't lead me astray...two of our guests are starting their own vineyard and they know their wines.
The menu is not set...we're leaning towards steak.

Otherwise, Greg Norman Cabarnet Merlot blend is also good. Also from Australia.

Posted by: MP at November 19, 2003 10:11 AMGo to www.foodandwine.com. I've found this site to be incredibly helpful in choosing a good wine to pair with a meal. They give you both price and quality ratings. It's hard to go wrong!

Boones farm? Ha Ha Ha!
Posted by: just married at November 19, 2003 03:22 PMThere is a vineyard in Stillwater that has some wonderful reds. They have both cabernets and merlots. If you get lucky they may have some of their special reserve vintages still around. The shop is at the north end of main street in downtown stillwater.
