What kind of red wine...

goes with a standing rib roast (beef)? I do not like red wine at all, so I would really appreciate some recommendations. Thanks!

Red Truck Merlot!
Not to heavy or dry for those that arent big red wine fans
Not to expensive
Cute label for the table!

Really comes down to personal taste. Pinot Noir, Cabarnet, Chianti's are a little lighter, while Merlot, Shiraz, Temparnillo, are heavier, darker, fuller, more tannins.

For a roast, I prefer the fuller wines, but the others work also.

Which ever box is on sale at Costco.

I would go with a nice cab or my favorite: Tempranillo.

I could send you my list of personal favs if you like.

OOoooh I know!!! Giradet-Cabernet! YES!!!!!

my favorite whine: but there are too many stairs! I don't want to walk that far!

We bought MBG a bottle of B_tch,B_tch,B_tch,B_tch,B_tch,B_tch.......
It was pretty good!
(Yes it really says that all over the bottle, pink label white letters)

Fat B@stard wine is pretty good too.

That might be perfect for my mother...

But it gives you gas......

This is for Deek how about "They only have 20 cases of Tanq in the entire stooooooore"

Maybe it gives *YOU* gas....

OK, I'm starting to think that I am huge wine snob. Never have drank or would drink anything with a name like that!!

<---wants to start doing Fat Bastard quotes! But as this is a sort of a dinner thread, I'll go oustide! Excuse me.

I love red wines, and pinot noirs go great with rib roast.

But.....you should drink what you like, not necessary to drink what goes *with*.

White Zinfandel

True dat, Tigg.

Unless you like "Ripple"..

I am thinking for my mom, she likes reds.

"Get in mah belly!"

"Move on."

Red food coloring in a bottle of Tanq.

Yeah, drink in me, Monkey Butt ♥

If Freak was a bottle of wine, what varietal would he be and what would he be called??

^^^ can of worms? opened.

Yup

Nah, he would be "SupahFreak Prosecco"

Moscato D'Assti - A cheaky little wine with a lot of nose and intersting yet amusing alpine note at the end!

I prefer Twisted Freaks, thank you very much.

of course this is your favorite!!!

i love shiraz and i think it would be yummy with rib roast.... it's a "safe" red wine... I don't like dry reds *yuck* (kust my opionions) and if you want to do research idk what city you live in but if you locate some wine bars you can usually try a wine flight ( a sampling of 3-5 different wines) and then you can buy the bottle from there or go to your local beer/wine/liquor store.

1978 Montrachet

Take someone with you to take notes....depending how big a flight it is, you may not remember!

did that have a Chevy 357 under the hood?

for the price of a bottle it should.

No, that would be the carp my cousin use to make in his closet with RONCO's Closet Wine Maker!

A mixture of beaujolais and Ripple: booze-yo-lipple (phonetic spelling, 'cause I have no idea how to spell that type of wine).

*like*

While Montrachet is a spectacular wine, it is a white wine.


Deek, you can't go wrong with one of the 5 Premiere Grand Crus

Château Lafite-Rothschild
Chäteau Latour
Château Margaux
Château Mouton-Rothschild
Château Haut-Brion

But really anything from the Pauillac, Médoc, or Margaux appellations of Bordeaux would go perfectly with a standing rib roast.

Or there's my personal favorite. 1990 Opus One

I'm just sayin....

Thanks everyone for the tips. Now I have to print this thread, so Ican refer back to it...

Opus One - yum!

Actually, Total Wine carries a zinfandel that would be just perfect for you, DQ. It is affordable and enjoyable. But the best part is the name of the wine: Seven Deadly Zins.

What are you taling about, SF??? Deek is neither affordable nor enjoyable!

I loved him in Bloom County

*like!*

Ag: *kick*

Me too!!

I miss Bloom County.... Le sigh.

I wish I could drink red wine.

A couple reasonably priced ($10 to $12, maybe less with a good sale) reds that we have been enjoying are Three Girls Cabernet and Sterling Vintner's Collection Meritage.

Meritage is a recently coined American word for Bordeaux style blends.

The Seven Deadly Zins recommended above is good, too.

You can also save a couple bucks by looking for South American wines. Lots of good bargains. Cabs, merlot, and also Malbec.

MD 20/20

I would go with whatever was served at the Marriage at Cana!

One of my favorites is Wyndham Estates Bin 555 Shiraz. Inexpensive but drinks like a much higher priced wine. You can't go wrong with most wines from Southeast Australia.

MBH, I agree on your choice of the Sterling Meritage.

Per Food & Wine mag, right now best deals to be had on good cabs are from Washington.

We are getting good cabs right now in the New York area, but we just call them black cars.

Stay out of the ones with tinted windows and guys with suits....not cabs...nope, not all!
Just sayin'.

doesn't Deek drink rubbing alcohol when in a bind?

I have always had a soft spot for Boone's Farm or Mogen David

What kind of Red wine?

Which ever one you make Minion pick up at Costco

funny, her hubby works there.

my poor thread

If there's one thing this thread has taught me... it's that I know absolutely nothing about wine.

At least not the kind you drink!

The Australian wines are very nice and affordable.

it is the holiday season, Does the autobody shop give free wine to its best customers?

Wait... didn't someone mention wine-in-a-box?

Did you ever play slap the sack?

Oh, good grief, JJ! I know you have, but I'm talking about the game with boxed wine!

Never heard of it. Got all kinds of ideas though with a name like "slap the sack"...

You know how it works here so well. Do you have a minion of your own?

*stares*

My favorite red would not go with Deek's menu but it's Electra from Quady Wineries. Its sweet, sparkly, dessert in a glass.

We have Prosecco to go with dessert.

isn't that ham?

::forehead slap @ ^^^::

So are you looking for afforadble, extravagant or mid-range??

LOL--I am French so it'd have to be something like Le Moscato D'Assti.

Le Lil Freak!
Fixed!

That would be prosciutto, dork-boy!
