Red!

I’ve been wanting to post a very long rant on 300 and its ridiculous Iranian ciritics but instead, I’m going to write about red wine! It’s the Persian New Year in 5 days and I know at least two of my friends who are struggling to pick the right bottle for their hosts! I’ll keep it simple so that they too understand!

First thing’s first. A mini rant on Red vs. White. If you’re buying a gift, buy red wine! In my humble opinion, bringing a bottle of white wine to a party is just rude! It’s like walking in and shouting out like a maniac: “Hey, I got wine. Let’s get pissed and talk $hit!” But when you bring a bottle of good red wine, you are politely telling your host that: “This is yours! Enjoy it!” So, that’s that!

Like I said before, I’m not going to go into detail. Here is the listing of my favorite French red wines:

To conclude, A good and classy wine to buy as a gift would be Cabernet Sauvignon/Bordeaux. A good red wine to enjoy by yourself and a special friend (note that this friend could be a steak!) would be Merlot. And finally, a cheap bottle to share in a restaurant when you don’t feel like spending too much is shiraz. One final word of advice: Don’t open a bottle if you know you are not going to finish it.
