What wine to get when . . .

The in-laws drop by for dinner - Riesling or Cabernet Sauvignon
Traditional and noble grape varieties that could never offend. Timeless classics that have held their popularity through time.

An intimate dinner party with friends - Pinot Gris or Pinot Noir
P is for Personal. Pinots need a relaxed, personal setting to really be enjoyed. They're both complex enough to generate discussion aong any wine buffs at the table, but easy to drink and be enjoyed by the non-wine buffs.

A business dinner - Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc or Shiraz
The safe bets! The big bold classics are guaranteed to be enjoyed in a business meeting (especially one dominated by testosterone!). If you want to put a safe and more feminine wine on the table a lovely fresh Sauvignon Blanc is a winner.

A romantic dinner for two - Champagne
What more do we need to say! The gorgeously romantic sound of the cork popping will start any romantic dinner on the right track.
