Choosing Wine on a First Date
First dates are nerve wracking enough without having to worry
about what wine to choose to impress your new friend!
One of the great things about wine on a date is that one bottle
is a defined amount, normally about five glasses. If shared
equally it is unlikely that you will fall off your chair drunk
after half a bottle of wine!
However, there are some other social sins that can be committed
whilst choosing wine on a date.
Getting Started
First, you need to decide whether you want white, red, ros� or
sparkling wine. This is perhaps the most important decision. As
a general rule, red wine is more of an acquired taste and it can
be harder to select a good red. Therefore, when you do not know
your companion's tastes it may be wise to steer clear of the red
wine section.
Sparkling wine can make you appear a little pretentious or if
you go for a cheaper version, a tightwad; so this is usually
best avoided. If you are not sure whether your companion likes
wine at all, ros� wine is often a safe option as it often lacks
the sharpness that people commonly dislike in wines.
How Much to Spend?
Remember more money doesn't always mean more quality. If you are
very new to wine, go for a house white. A house white is
unlikely to be extremely imaginative or unusual, but is almost
always perfectly drinkable. For this reason it is a safe, middle
of the road option.
If you want to impress, look for something other than the house
white. Keep away from extremes until you know your companion a
little better, so don't go for bone dry whites. Instead, opt for
a fruity dry wine that appeals to those who like both dry and
medium whites.
Whilst neutral wines may seem like a bit of a cop-out, bear in
mind that you simply want a drinkable wine that does not offend.
If you are really not sure what to choose, why not offer your
companion a choice of glasses as an aperitif while you have a
beer or spirit. This way you can judge your companion's taste.
Even if they select a spirit, you can still get a measure of
whether they prefer sweet or dry wines.
Of course, you could always give your companion the choice...

Your guests are going to come to your home or party venue and expect to be treated to some of the best food and wine they have ever tasted. All guests come this way to every single party they attend but more often than not they leave unsatisfied with the food and wine they were served. It is up to you to make sure that this does not happen after your party, so you need t make sure that you offer your guests only the finest food and wine to be found.
Start by talking to your friends to see what went wrong at some of the other parties they have attended. And take a look at your own reactions to some of the food and wine that was served. What is it that you didn't like about the food and wine and how could it have been made better than it was? The key to successful hosting with food and wine is to learn from the mistakes of others. With this method you will be able to avoid some of the biggest pitfalls that are out there concerning the food and wine to be served.
