one of my favorite grapes from that region is the savigny- les- beaune, from the cote de beaune... nuits- st- georges, from the cote de nuit (a little to the north). i think a savigny would make a nice addition to that plate. i also like occatinally pairing certain reds with certain seafood dishes. and typically i go pinot noir as well..... oregon and washington have definetely stepped up in the world (especially with their pinots- noir, grigios, gris), though i still lean toward my californians.

I would go with a 1999 Miller High Life....

Excellent choice. Gussy it up and go for the bottle instead of the can if you really want to impress.

 

There's a sale at Sears on hand tools...I suggest you run and not walk.

 

Edit: On second thought, just walk. You'll give it away with the gay running. :D

Very good info here. Hmmmm, I'd have to take a very educated guess that you frequent Willamette quite often.

Nah.. :D ..I'm heading down Friday and then going back Thanksgiving weekend. A bunch of the wineries in the Willamette are only open Memorial Day weekend and Thanksgiving weekend.

One more thing which I think someone touched on, how many people are going to be at this party and will there be more wine? Lawdawg and I along with our wives have been known to go through a few bottles before we even get to the first course.

 

You may be better off buying 3 Oregon Pinots at $50.

Beaux Freres Pinot's or a Cristom Pinot are always a great choice with Salmon. If the salmon were smoked, then I would go with a Spanish wine like Numanthia, their last 5 or 6 vintages are fantastic from their lower priced Toro to the Termes all the way to the Termanthia.

Spain is a great place for value wines, you could buy a case of Vinos Pinol Ludivicious for around a $144 bucks or a case of Juan Gil for about the same price and get good and drunk; both are great wines for the $.

 

I also enjoy a bottle of Pinot Gris with salmon, so you may want to bring a bottle of that as well.

 

Let us know how it goes!

Thanks all for your input.

 

I went to zee Franch wine store and talked to zee Franch wine guy. He was impressed with your suggestions. He ultimately recommended, and I purchased, a 2001 Bouchard Père et Fils Vosne-Romanée Aux Reignots 1er Cru.

 

Given the dish, he thought that something younger was more appropriate.

 

I'll be drinking it tomorrow. I'll let you know if its any good. :D

good pick. the french name and the whole "pere et fils" thing make it sound extra gay, just what you were looking for.

I like wine in the fondue. I get this stuff called llano because it is from Texas. It's $10.00 a bottle and I'm always tempted to try something cheaper but don't want to screw up the fondue.
