If you'd like to try a bottle of wine but are intimidated by an extensive wine list, ask the sommelier or server what they would recommend.

Exactly this - if they're fancy enough to have a sommelier, use them. They know what they have and what would work best - let 'em do their job.

From Seinfeld, when Kramer and his midget friend are dating two twin girls:

Waiter: Can I get you folks something to drink?"

Midget: "I like Merlot!"

Girl #1: "I LOVE Merlot!"

Girl #2: "I'm CRAZY about Merlot!"

Kramer: "I LIVE for Merlot!"

Waiter: "We're OUT of Merlot."

Hey honey, bring me the bottle, my glass is almost empty...

The first thing to do is ask your date if s/he has a favorite. Then order that. If they don’t have a favorite they aren’t wine drinkers.

Article should be titled: “How to order wine without sounding like a dilatant nuveau riche social climbing snob”.

My failsafe method is to just order a recent, mid priced Sirah with an air of calm authority. That and knowing all the Academy Awards best picture nominations is a guaranteed first date hookup.

I would rather be asked since it might embarrass my date if he doesn’t know wines like a connoisseur.

There’s a country song with the line “two Dixie cups and a bottle of wine” and that is basically how I handled it in my dating days.

That waiter looks like the actor who played Quark on Deep Space 9.

I took the wife to a very fancy French place and had no idea what to do with the 7 forks, I asked the gherkin which do I use? and for what?

he said, Sir, for the price of your dinner you may use any fork you wish :)

[SkyDancer]

Yep. House Merlot.

So do I. Are you old enough to remember Br'er Rabbit in Song of the South, since banned due to being non=PC?

The grasshopper jump
And so do the bee.
I'll do what I like
And I'll please ME.
