Hey Mik…

[LuFins Dad]

@Mik or any other winey people. I’m hosting a small reception tomorrow. Maybe 25 people. How many boxes bottles of wine should I have? And just one red and one white option? What types should we offer? There will also be bottled beer, bottled water, and a few soft drink options as well as a few cheese and cracker and fruit trays.

[Mik]

Yeah, for piano sales you don’t want box wine, although much of it is quite good. So let’ say 2/3 will drink wine so you probably want to serve no more than a couple glasses per person, 10 ounces. So I’d say six whites and four reds should be more than enough. What’s your budget?

[Mik]

Now caveats are I don’t know what the event is and how long. Duration and topic can be important.

Small reception before a recital, and a quick glass after the recital…

[Mik]

Then maybe one glass per wine person. A bottle is about 4 glasses. Looking for wine recommendations?

[LuFins Dad]

Sure…

[Mik]

So will you be going to Wegman's or Harris Teeter?

[Mik]

What kind of price per bottle are you looking at?

[LuFins Dad]

$15?

[Mik]

For $12 I like Matua Sauvignon Blanc. It's my house white. Whatever you pick, make sure it has a screw cap. You don't want to mess with corks at the event. Not finding much in reds with that qualification so you might have to do cork. I like the Coppola Diamond Collection Cabernet. The Claret is pretty good too but I preferred the cab.

Both available at Harris teeter.

Any jazz musicians attending?

[Mik]

Jazz musicians drink scotch. And weed.
