Red Wine
-
Which type of red wine is of a reasonable quality and also not very expensive?
I am not looking for very old and preserved ones, normal one will do, but of cos dun wan the taste to be revolting also..I have tasted some cheap and disgusting one in US before, but I have never bought wine in Singapore, so dunno wich one is good and wich one is bad...
So need some suggestion, and better still if you can tell me the price of your bottle of choice Thanks

not good with red wine heheheh... but I remember there was always Jacob's Creek on the table during dinner with colleagues... about SGD25 a bottle.

Try to get Australian imports at Cold Storage and NTUC Fairprice for your price range. Try something slightly sweet to compliment your meal with a woody taste, if you don't know what red will suit exactly your taste, ask the shop assistant to help you sort out the slightly sweet and woody. -

so can just ask the shop assistant for merlot, with a slightly sweet and woody taste?

pinot noir is also a red... SO just go for any red new world wine with the above taste. I hope it's meatball spaghetti else I would say go with fruity.Originally posted by rainee:alrite thanks...

still thinking if i shud include meatballs or not...but too much work, i dunno how to make meatballs...not sure they got sell ready made one or not..
i dun really like white wine also...prefer red one... -
hmm...i m still thinking if i shud include meatball or not...cos meatball got beef, and someone cannot eat beefOriginally posted by Herzog_Zwei:pinot noir is also a red... SO just go for any red new world wine with the above taste. I hope it's meatball spaghetti else I would say go with fruity.
so if just spaghetti and sausages + tomatoes sauce, go with fruity? -

Italian sausges tend to have pork and beef mixed in. It's your decision, we can only take a good guess and advise.Originally posted by rainee:hmm...i m still thinking if i shud include meatball or not...cos meatball got beef, and someone cannot eat beef

oh is it? hmm maybe have to stick to sausages which only have pork or chicken inside...Originally posted by Herzog_Zwei:Italian sausges tend to have pork and beef mixed in. It's your decision, we can only take a good guess and advise. -
Watch the amount of basil leaves going into the spaghetti sauce or the woody taste of the red wine is going to clash.Originally posted by rainee:oh is it? hmm maybe have to stick to sausages which only have pork or chicken inside... -
me like seafood pasta.......
toss in some clams, prawns, squids......
(if u like, u can soak them in white wine first) -
Aunty FireIce, you mean alfredo and white wine sauce? I tend to add in garlic and lots of herbs for the sauce.Originally posted by FireIce:me like seafood pasta.......
