i sit here by my self sipping a glass by my self wine is {dirty laundry merlot}thinking it sucks being alone .so ??? is what wine would you take when you go to see one of Vancouvers wonderful ladies.
Get her A nice expensive bottle of Cab......with some blue cheese , drink it before you go , then ask her to receive a golden shower ,
let her know you were thoughtful and bought it for her but filtered it thru the liver first.
Don't go near a Pinot Noir you have not had recommended by a knowledgeable source. It is known as "the heartbreak grape" with full justification. Delicate and fragile in the growing process, pinot noir potentially produces the most glorious tasting wine I have personally experienced. And damned expensive when it does so. Just imagine what happens each growing season when the grape's fragility has been triggered and the resultant crop is sub-standard? Regardless, the crop will be salvaged and eventually bottled and sold as PINOT NOIR. And the vintners will eventually recoup their costs. Just make sure you have some specific "experienced advice" if you intend hoppin' down the Pinot Noir trail.
Any decent bottle of champagne, its classy, women love it and it brings a festive ambiance.
After all you are sharing it with a special lady and you should be celebrating...
(You are about to get laid!)
