But I didn't set the budget for the wine. My father-in-law is who is buying the wine, but to make things easier for my wife and I we said we would buy it ahead of time and they could reimburse us. With all due respect, because he's a great guy, my father-in-law brags about finding wine at Trader Joe's for $2.99 (or less) and that to him makes a great wine (but he does lap up the good stuff when served it). So I'm figuring he'll splurge for the holiday and go up to $9 or so. But my wife and I are foodies and love good wine so we're trying to get a good wine for a good price for our won sake. I've stumbled across some great bargains, mostly in heavier reds which are our preference, but I'm at a loss for lighter reds which based on experience I think this crowd will prefer and I don't have time to stumble (or maybe I should stumble over the next couple of weeks; there's an idea!). Yes, the chardonnay is for those who don't want red. If it was up to me I'd serve a Bandol Tempier and love every minute of it.
