As collegiettes™, we like to think of ourselves as alcohol experts. As it turns out, this might not be entirely true. What wine goes best with a pasta dinner? What’s the perfect wine glass for your Chardonnay? What is Chardonnay?
If you know the answers to these questions, consider yourself a connoisseur. But even if you’re a know-it-all (go ahead, flaunt it), do you know where to get your Pinot grigio for $6.99?
Whether you’re an amateur or an expert, celebrity wine auctioneer Elyse Luray’s comprehensive guide to wine tells you everything about 100 red wines and 100 white wines from around the world. Never heard of Donnafugata Anthilia? No problem, we haven’t either. According to Great Wines Under $20, it’s an Italian wine — a blend of Catarratto and Ansonica grapes — and “is smooth and clean with a fruit taste and softness in the mouth.” At only $14.99, it’s also great with lightly smoked fish, crustaceans and all seafood. Elyse doesn’t stop at great. For each wine, she also explains what it’s excellent with, which in this case is tuna salad, eggplant rolls and stuffed mussels. Interested? This insider’s guide also tells you where you can buy each wine.
So collegiettes™, if you’re tired of all the Toga parties, it’s about time you throw a Classy Friday dinner party — but don’t forget to pick up a copy of Great Wines Under $20 first! And don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone you got that pasta at Olive Garden…so long as you serve it with the Latium Morini Valpolicella Superiore Campo Prognai.
