    Wine Recommendations - HELP!

    I'm having a date come over for dinner tomorrow. A few weeks ago she invited me over and made lobster. The wine she chose was perfect. I don't want to look like a chump but frankly I know NOTHING about wine.

    I am making filet mignon, rice, salad, and got some cheescake factory cheescake for dessert. Is there any wine that will go well with all of that?
    I like pie.

              I'd rather not go over $40-$50. I don't want to get in her britches that bad.

                  dont buy her wine u rnt french, mix her a nice drink to get the night going smooth.

                  gin and 7up is always a nice panty remover.
                  or go grab some hypnotiq and put a lil henessy in there.

                  but as if u r still stuck on wine and being french i like a good merlot.

                      If it were up to me we'd drink water with dinner. I think anything else fucks up the flavor of a great steak. After dinner it would be beer. Unfortunately she's kind of a wine freak.

                          ok with the meat you are serving I would suggest a nice Chardonnay for white and Cabernet Sauvignon for red.

                          For Cabernet I would suggest ....

                          Cape d'Estaing - Austrailan
                          Wolf Blass - Austrailan
                          Masi - Italian

                          For Chardonnay I would suggest...

                          Antinori - Italian
                          Masi - Italian

                              If you are going with a nice steak I would say that a
                              pinot noir or merlot should go well. If you don't have a lot of experience with wine then most of the labels in the 40 to 50 dollar range should do fine.

                                              Coppola - Merlo or their Cab mix, Sryah is also nice for Fillet. This is also at most wine stores.

                                              Port is also a fantastic after dinner drink.

                                              Dont forget to lay out some cheese as the appitizer ( Triple Cream brie from St Andres is better than dope, Some Stilton Blu, Smoked Gouda and port wine cheese with some really nice crackers. That will be BIG pimpin)

                                              Slice all on a nice plate / platter. Toss 2-3 kinds of mustard up in very small dishes and you are set man.

                                              Tunes - www.somafm.com - Secret Agent station on in the background and you are all set.

                                              once you have that, you never again will need to wonder.

                                                          Buy a safe red wine. I would recommend Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon. It should cost around $25.

                                                                          You may also want to consider buying two bottles -- if so I'd go with a Steele Pinot Noir to start out with and then move to one of the bottles above with the steaks.

                                                                          And a nice bottle of wine doesn't detract from the flavor of a steak, it should complement it.

                                                                                              This is exactly what I would reccomend. It is a very good wine that goes great with steak (in any form). The plus is it won't hurt your wallet.

                                                                                                  I remeber when these were less than $20/bottle. Then Zins became popular and the prices went thru the roof.

                                                                                                  You should check out Limerick Lane, Mauritson, and some of the Joesph Swan offerings. All good buys.

                                                                                                  Personally, I'd go with a Syrah or a Bigger Pinot Noir. Both will have some acidiy and tannins that will be cut by the beef making them come off rich and smooth.

                                                                                                  Go to a good shop and explain what you are after and you price range, and they should be able to set you up.

                                                                                                      My best suggestion to you is to go to the nicer grocery or a wine store and ask for recommendations. For 50 bucks a bottle in the store you can get the equivalent of a 100 bottle in most nice restaurants.

                                                                                                      You may also want to consider buying two bottles -- if so I'd go with a Steele Pinot Noir to start out with and then move to one of the bottles above with the steaks.

                                                                                                      And a nice bottle of wine doesn't detract from the flavor of a steak, it should complement it.

                                                                                                      I have to say.. Kimmy knows her wines.. but any bottle that cost you $50 in a grocery store will run ya over $250 in a restaurant.. hell they charge $40 for a $6 bottle of cheap wine in most restaurants...

A few weeks ago she invited me over and made lobster. The wine she chose was perfect. I don't want to look like a chump but frankly I know NOTHING about wine.

                                                                                                                  I am making filet mignon, rice, salad, and got some cheescake factory cheescake for dessert. Is there any wine that will go well with all of that?

                                                                                                                  I think a nice Red like Merlot would be a good choice when serving red meat.

                                                                                                                  Blackstone has a good merlot. Its medium price range.

                                                                                                                          Y'all are eating in the wrong restaurants Greg! The good spots here in Phx, and most in Vegas as well, are pretty well priced on their wine selections, especially when you get to the more expensive bottles -- they know that someone who's willing to fork out a hundred or more a bottle is probably someone who'll buy a couple of bottles with dinner, so they take the profit that way.

                                                                                                                          The cheaper wines do get marked up more, but you just cant make a cheap wine good by upping the price ;)

                                                                                                                          Anything from Jordan or Jarvis are also good choices, Jordan can usually be found under 50 as well.

You don't want her to think your some sissy or worse.
