Any suggestions for a good wine or champagne?

I just moved in with my boyfriend and I want to have a celebration dinner. He doesn’t like to eat out, so I’m planning on ordering in from a cute little bistro down the street, and I’m looking for a good wine or champagne to go with it. We both like light, fruity wines. Something that goes down smooth, and isn’t too dry. I prefer whites, but he likes both. Suggestions?

As for wines, I would suggest Sauvignon Blanc. Sauvignon Blanc is one of my favorite wines to introduce to a non-drinker, because it is indeed fruity and less alcohol. It is relatively inexpensive, does not have the flavor that most people don’t like (tannin/bitter, acidic, oaky, etc), and it is readily available at supermarket and wine stores. I would suggest to start out with something cheaper, like Chateau St. Michelle Sauvignon Blanc ($14), Napa Cellar ($15), Chateau Souverin ($14), Dry Creek Fume Blanc ($14). Personal favorite include Robert Mondavi Fume Blanc ($16) and Caymus Conundrum ($25) and Duckhorn Sauvignon Blanc ($20).

As for Champagne, I agree with the writer on looking for nice cheaper champagnes from California. I think Chandon makes very good and cheap champagnes. They have so many different types, mostly runs $15-30. Personal favorites from California include Frank’s Family Champagne (especially the pink champagne $40) and Schramberg ($30-40). If you want something fruity and sweeter and not as dry, I would also throw this other one in – from France, Moet and Chandon has a wonderful sweeter champagne called Nectar Imperial ($40), hard to get but lovely.

Good luck and have fun.

How a good Wine taste…..
