wine for tonight
Discussion
ok need a quick answer to this please.
going to a mates for dinner tonight so I thought some wine would always be good with the meal. Now he wont tell me what there cooking but I do know a meat dish is on the table.
So what do I do?
Take a bottle of white or red?
Iv got a budget of about £20-£30.
Many thanks for your help.

If he won't tell you what's on the menu, don't spend £20 to £30 on a bottle and risk it'll fail the goes with the grub test. Get one of each at £10 to £15. Both will be very acceptable.
^^ This.Barolo will do equally well with lamb and beef. And a Chardonnay (Meursault, say) that will pair with almost all white meat and fish dishes.
IF you knew what that food was you could be FAR more adventurous. But these won't fight the grub.
If he cooks up curry put the wine back in the car and go buy a slab of stubbies.
If you fancy a New Zealand Sauvignon Blance have a look at this thread...

That's reminded me, I need to drink a bottle of G&T tonight.BTW, have you ever used sparkling wine as a mixer for gin? Works surprisingly well, also massively dangerous thing to drink in the AM, like I did when I first discovered it.
