I usually look for the ratings on the shelf tags in the store and pick something +90. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-buy-for-someone-you-dont-know-well#post-1359662 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 13:48:58 +0000 Synchronicity 1359662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: I am terrible at selecting a proper wine because if it's white, I'll drink it... I'm so not picky! I usually buy based on how pretty/fun/fancy the label is, depending on what I'm going for... how bad is that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-buy-for-someone-you-dont-know-well#post-1359642 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 13:30:42 +0000 MrsH 1359642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: you can always pick something with a fun label. Or get some champagne ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-buy-for-someone-you-dont-know-well#post-1359621 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 13:16:30 +0000 Crystal 1359621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Deer: @cascademom: @PermaStudent: any good wines you can recommend?
