[QUOTE="witzend, post: 538339, member: 99"] Any $20 Malbec would be a good choice. It's newish enough that they will think she has some idea of a good wine. Remember, mark-up on wine in a restaurant is about 600%, so a $20 bottle could easily go for $120 in a restaurant. That or a "Petit Syrah". Tell her to ask for either at a shop with a good wine collection, even a good grocer that has a Sommelier, and she'll be fine. Both Malbecs and Petit Syrahs have a light mouth. Just be sure that she understands that they likely will not open the bottle while she is there. That's custom to someone who has a good cellar, and she should not feel insulted. If they like her, they will invite her to dinner sometime, and perhaps open the bottle for her. [/QUOTE]
