Sharing glasses of wine over an indulgent meal is one of the most tried and true Valentine’s Day activities. But what happens when you look at the wine selection, have no idea what to order, and end up just pointing to the menu when the server comes because you don’t even know how to pronounce the names?

Let’s avoid that moment altogether. Instead, find out how to order the right glass of wine when dining out. With the help of Tom Lillard, a sales representative for Pure Wine Company with six years of industry knowledge, we can all order that glass of cabernet with confidence.

Know your food first Ordering wine with a meal is truly about the pairing you’re creating. As a newbie wine drinker, the best thing you can do for yourself when dining out is finding a wine that complements your plate. “There’s a lot of very easy go-tos you can rely on,” says Lillard.

If you’re having sushi for example, you’ll want a light wine, and that doesn’t necessarily mean white over red. What this actually refers to is the taste of the wine. For seafood, which itself is pretty light, you’ll want something fresh and crisp. Lillard suggests a Pinot Noir if you want a red wine or a Sauvignon Blanc or a Pinot Grigio if you want a white wine

I have found that you really can’t go wrong if the bottle says, “made from real grapes.”

Ordering wine on a date?

She has no idea. Second lease expensive red, sound confident.

not a matter of afford, more likely why would I want to?

Same. And then everyone gasps when I say…..and don’t bring me one of those itty bitty wine glasses please. If you don’t have a bigger wine glass a tea glass will suffice. Then I turn around to the group and say…what? I’m trying to save him trips!
I hate those little wine glasses. I get three or 4 drinks out of them then have to wait 10 minutes or longer for another glass of wine. 🤣

Makes sense to me.
