I dont usually drink white wine except in the heat of the summer. Does anyone have a recommendation for a relatively inexpensive ($10 or less) white wine to sip as I sit in my patio, watching the warm LA sun go down?

I prefer a red or white wine…

Mostly on the dry side and definately not a dessert wine. I like a really smooth taste as opposed to something too heavy or pungent.

My wine vocabularly is not there so I hope someone can help me out.

Im willing to spend up to $50 bucks but not more.

I just bought a 2004 Novelty Hill Merlot from Columbia Valley.

~harmonious blend of black cherry, raspberry, and mocha flavors comebined with undercurrent of inviting oak.~

I searched their web site wanting to learn more about it, but they only have different wines. Either Merlots from different years, or from a different grape valley. How come? Is my wine rare? How come the one I bought isn’t on there?

Jignesh S asked:


My boss has invited us to her place for a wine tasting party? What would be an appropriate gift for us to bring, if any? Taking a bottle of wine does not seem to be a good fit on this occasion, since I am expecting my boss will have already selected the wines she wants to serve.
