Speaking of cholesterol medicine...

Any recommendations for Christmas dinner?

I'm inclined to go with an Australian Shiraz for the red. But I really don't like white wine, so I don't really know what to get.

I've got a couple of standards that we usually get. But I'm willing to try something new.

I gotta learn more about selecting wines...

Boones Farm Strawberry Hill.

Goes with anything, even a paper cup.

New Zealand Sauv Blanc. Definitely I really, really like Cloudy Bay and Kim Crawford, but those are more expensive. Giesen is nice. Or Marlborough.

Bolla's Valpolicelli is a nice hearty red...

Merlot is always a good choice...

course, Rye whiskey goes well with pork...

I understand Yellowtail shiraz is a good Aussie wine. I dont recommend Black Swan. On level of the cheaper stuff here.

If not Aussie, I *do* recommend any Llano Estacado or Fall Creek (Texas) wines...in particular the Llano blush or the Fall Creek chardonney.

I'm not a hugh fan of Chardonnay, but I have tried one that I like. It's from Columbia Crest, a winery up in WA, I believe. But then I like White Zinfandel, so that tells you something about MY tastes! ;o)
