The Gift of Wine Meme
December 3, 2005 | Filed Under Memes
Mona tagged me for a fun meme – The Gift of Wine Meme – started by Basic Juice. It asks: If you were to give a wine out of your own cellar/collection/shelf/fridge as a gift this year, which wine would it be, who would receive it, and why?
The amusing thing is I know nothing about wines. Oh, what’s a girl who’s ignorant about wines to do with a meme like this? As I pondered the question, T.V. cook personality Rachael Ray, of 30 Minute meals fame, came to my rescue. While watching her show on holiday meals, she suggested three wines to go with the food she prepared.
Out of the three, I liked the sound of one of the wines best – Nero D’Avola. I thought this wine, made from a little known grape from Sicily, a good choice especially for this holiday season. It is described as a rich, velvety red wine that’s easy to drink and goes well with meats.

I’d give Nero D’Avola to all my food blog comrades as thanks for their blogs and their friendships. I thought it would be a nice for them to have this wine since I’m sure they’ll be doing some entertainment of their own for the holidays.
So, this is my choice as a neophyte wine taster. I think if I want to become more knowledgeable about wines, I’m going to have to hang out with Mona and her friend Winette when they visit sangria and wine bars around the city and read Basic Juice’s blog. Oh, and I’m going to have to play Lotto so that I can have lots of money to buy as many bottles of wine as I want for everyone!
I tag Ilva for this meme.
Thanks for including me, Mona (Be sure to check out her great post on The Gift of Wine meme!)!
