Question re value Chards and Shiraz First, can I buttume you are back in Indiana now? Welcome home. I understand the issue well. I was placed in the same a couple years ago. When it comes to Chard most people have clear differnces in style...they like butter-wood or crisp fruit hold the butter-wood. I did two types for the party. From California there was the Chateau St. Jean Sonoma Chard...it was about $8.00 at regular retailer...this was for the butter-wood crowd and I inexpensive white burg for the crisp fruit.mineral acid crowd. Went over well. Hope you have success. One of the reds I picked as a cheapo called Collossi or something like that. It was a Lombardi selection I think. It was a red wine of sicilian origen and was pretty good to geeks and non geeks. You could also, as we did for the dias have a few special bottles for that table placed on that table. So when the mbuttes toast with Sparkling, Champaigne nv or cava they could have a bottle of Etoile, or Dom or something special...is the dias is mostly wine geeks. No one non geek would care or notice. Good Luck. privates
