- Scott H - 12-01-2005
New here and very new when it comes to wines. Dating a girl that really loves her wine. Need advice on a good christmas wine, or maybe a mixed case to drink throughout the next year. Any advice?

Find out what kind of wine your girl likes and buy a case of it to share for Christmas.

Hi Scott, and welcome to the Wine Board. If you want to shoot in the dark, you can hardly go wrong with a sparkler unless she can't handle carbonation. Champagne will cost in the vacinity of $40 and up, a good California sparkler can be had for $15 and up, and a nice Cava from Spain will run $10 or so. Just be sure they are all made in the Champagne Method rather than bulk process or even the transfer method. A good retailer can help in this regard.
