    Yellow Tail Shiraz Berringer Chardonnay Berringer White Zin IMO, a Riesling is sweet, as is a white zin, so if you're having the white zin, you don't need the riesling.  If you want to cut out the white zin, I'd rec the Riesling.

    I think the sutter home white zin has a weird aftertaste.  I'd go with the Berringer.

    If you don't have Riesling, I won't stalk your wedding.And, it took me awhile to figure out wtf you were talking about before I opened the post.  Winners?  Whiners?  I totally forgot you'd been asking about wine lately.  I felt like I deserved the "Spayshel" badge when I opened the post.  That's all.

    I'll probably either do a white zin or a second white option...not both. I'd prefer to keep it to just a red and a white though, to save money/time. Do a lot of people drink white zin? I personally don't like the one I've tried (I think it was sutter home, but can't remember)

    My mom and the ladies in FI's family like white zin because it's sweet, but I know they'd also drink a Riesling, and I think more people would like the Riesling than the white zin.

    J. We've talked about this. You can come to the wedding and even say hi to me, drink from my bar, eat my BBQ, and have a fantabulous time. If you promise to come, I'll promise to consider a reisling.10/10 at 5pm. Seriously. :)

    I always buy Barefoot Cab Sav.  It's very good and inexpensive.  My other favorite red is Pinot Noir.If I were buying a white, it would be a Pinot Grigio.That's pretty much all the help I can give.  I love wine and drink it often but I just buy whatever is inexpensive, I'm not too versed on brand names.

    I'd go with Riesling over White Zin.  And I'm trying to put my delicious sweet German wine bias away for that one.  I think more people would drink the Riesling.So, with that said, see ya in a couple months ;)

    Also, I recommened the shiraz, because I really like it, but merlot is probably a more common red.  I would guess that would be your best buy to please the most people.

    Works for me. Drag Fishsticks and Amber down with you :) So if I have a Reisling, should I have another white?

    Riesling is sweet, so you can do a pinot grigio with it, I think that'd be good. And the more I hear about your wedding, the more I wish I was one of the 500 invited.  It sounds like it's going to be great, Vogt.

    ShirazCab Sav  (i can't say which brand because i haven't tried them all)Pinot Grigio(i say this because we had 12 bottles of 4 different wines at our wedding and almost all of the pinot was gone, no one touched the chardonnay)i have no suggestions for a zin because i rarely drink them.i would kybosh the sparkling wine idea if i was you though.  i'd have 2 whites, 2 reds and a zin if you really really want to.

    GKB - open invitation to the P&E ladies. Seriously, if you want to make a trip, I'll give you the info :) Mandy - I wasn't planning on going with TOO much of the sparkling/champagney whatever. Maybe like 6 bottles in case any traditionalists want it for the toast. Maybe I could do half that, and half the second red?

    Sarah, I tend to agree with you on the blush, but I don't like most wine, so I was thinking it might just be my tastes in general.

    That's part of my problem Mandy - most of my friends/all of our family drinks beer. I know there are a few wine drinkers in my friend group, and I"m sure some of the extended family will drink a glass or two of wine, but I have no idea. I just want to be prepared for whatever since we're not doing a full bar - just want them to have options :)

    Beach Bride - that's funny that you couldn't type it :) Have you ever had the Reisling that comes in a dark blue bottle...it's kind of a different shaped bottle too. I can't remember what brand it is, but it was one of my options too, I just don't see it in my list.

    I've had that Riesling, I think.  If we're thinking of the same one.  It was good.

    2005 Saint M Riesling, Pfalz, Germany is good too and its only $12hmmm i'm not sure what that different bottle would be, but I will see if I can find it.  The 3 I told you about I absolutely love, and I only drink Riesling.
