Wine For Normal People Radio: Episode 45 -- How to Fill a Case of Wine

Sorry to be so late with this one -- a death in the family has taken us off schedule with lots of things, including the podcast.

But we're back on track this week! And I think this one will be useful.

This week MC Ice and I give some suggestions on what to buy if you're shopping for a case of wine (which makes sense because you usually get a discount for doing that!).

Here's a link to the podcast: LINK

Since I know you're not going to be able to take notes on everything, here's the rundown of our recommendations:

Sippers: Cava, Albariño, and French Rosé (dry, not sweet blush wine!)

Versatile/Food Wines

Whites: Sauvignon Blanc, lightly oaked Chardonnay, dry Riesling

Reds: Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chianti or Barbera, Malbec or Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon or a red blend that contains it

The Wild Card/Something New

Sky's the limit but we mention...Grüner Veltliner,Monastrell, Torrontes, and Nero d’Avola

The grape of the week is Petit Sirah...and we explain why it's not just mini Syrah!!!

If you like the podcast, please review it on iTunes, drop a comment below, or join the awesome conversation on Facebook (Wine For Normal People page) and Twitter @normalwine!

If you've got a question you want us to answer, post it on any of those places and we'll include it on the show!

Thanks for listening! We can't wait to hear from you!
