Anyone know of a great red wine $10 or cheaper?

I am not a big wine drinker and I am looking to give two bottles of red wine as gifts. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Yellow tail – it’s from Austrailia and I have never heard anyone complain about it. It’s just under $10 a bottle and you can pick red, white or blush. They also have a reserve (if you really want to impress) but I think it’s just over $10.

MEN: How can we make the most of our first year as newlyweds sexually and romantically? How can I please him?

I’m talking the works. I want this to be the most romantic year of our lives and I want it to go on and on forever. But I want it to be things we’ll both appreciate. We got married on 20th December, and left up to my own devices I would make candlelight dinners every Friday night in 2009, wear sexy lingerie and have romantic sex sessions, make him heart shape pancakes on shrove Tuesday, buy him a beautiful gift for Valentine’s and engrave it with our wedding date, take him on Picnic’s in the park etc.

That would be fine but I think he’ll get a bit overloaded with all the mushy stuff. As I type, he’s soaking in a rosepetal bath with a glass of Champagne. What can I do that he’ll REALLY enjoy? How about filthy, animalistic sex instead of romantic sex once in a while? How about a basket of porn or a paintballing session for Valentines rather than an engraved gift? Help me guys!!

Apparently, SOME answerers are losing their men or have lost them because they do not understand men. Here are your tips;
Skip the romantic stuff, men in general ain’t into it, they are into SEX. Want a good cheap thing to give for Valentines day? a card with a coupon good for this sexual favor or that . GIVE YOURSELF, THAT’s what he wants. Be his own personal little nasty slut girl That’s what he’ll want. He will need to feel special like this. Never send him out the door unless he is soar from sex. That’s what a man keeping woman would do. REMEMBER that women attach by emotions first, men attach sexually first. You keep doing these things and one day he’ll notice that he LOVES you. LUST turns into LOVE if it endures long enough.
With men, love grows, he’s in LUST right now.

A Guide To Gift Baskets For Canadian Holidays

Canada gift basket delivery service Clare’s Gift Baskets of Canada has long experience helping people in Europe, the US, the UK and beyond send gift baskets such as food hampers and gourmet cookie bouquets to friends and relatives in Canada. Since many people outside of Canada aren’t familiar with occasions they can use to send gift baskets (and other presents) to Canada, the company tracks Canadian holidays to help their customers select a basket for the right occasion, and to find an occasion that serves as a good excuse to send one, too. According to the company, the following Canadian holidays are ideal times to send gift baskets.

Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Christmas and Easter Gift Baskets to Canada

These holidays are standards for gift basket deliver across the Western world, including Canada. The traditional gifts people give in the US and UK suit many Canadians as well. As a multicultural society Canadians celebrate other holidays from non—European cultures as well, though these aren’t as widely recognized by the majority of Canadians. The important thing is to consider the background of the people you’ll be sending a gift basket to.

Victoria Day Weekend Gift Baskets to Canada

The Victoria Day Weekend is one of Canada’s major holidays, but this generally isn’t well known outside of the country. It marks the formal birthday of the monarch in Canada, based on Victoria’s birthday on May 24th. In modern times, the holiday falls on the last Monday before May 24th, creating a long weekend. For most Canadians it marks the start of the summer: a time to visit the cottage, relax outdoors and generally enjoy themselves. Since it’s liked to May 24th, many Canadians call the holiday “May 2-4” – “2-4” being Canadian slang for a case of 24 beer bottles. This is a great time to send a gift basket to Canada, particularly a food hamper, as many Canadians would rather not bother running out for party provisions in the middle of the weekend.

Canada Day Gift Baskets

Canada Day is the country’s annual patriotic celebration, originally called Dominion Day from the time when Canada was a British possession instead of the independent Commonwealth member it is today. It is the anniversary of the July 1st, 1867 signing of the British North America Act, which unified Upper Canada (Ontario) and Lower Canada (Quebec) with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, into a single country. Like Victoria Day, this is another great time for a gift basket, as all Canadians have the day off as a federal statutory holiday. It’s another time when gift recipients will appreciate someone sending snacks and treats to tide him over during celebrations. Canada Day tends to be a family-oriented day too, so gift baskets with cookies and other items that have “kid appeal” are often appreciated.

Labour Day Weekend Gift Baskets to Canada

Just as Victoria Day marks the start of Canada’s summer, the Labour Day weekend marks its end. Canadians celebrate Labour Day on the first Monday of September, creating another long weekend. In most of the country, this is the last ideal time to go to the countryside because it’s still warm, but too late in the year for mosquitoes. Once again, it’s the perfect time to send a gift basket as party provisions for the lash hurrah, before colder weather comes once again.

What company/ restaurant could deliver high quality food/gifts in Montreal, QC?

My goal is to arrange a delivery of a gorgeous gourmet breakfast to a company in Montreal, Quebec. I am located in the united states and it is difficult to search for caters, and other specialty delivery services as a lot of the websites i have come across are in French. As delivering a breakfast might be a bit of a stretch, it would also be a terrific help to get recommendations for top notch gift baskets / fruit assortments and things of that nature. This gift is from one company to another, so the presentation has to be impeccable & impressive. THANK YOU for any light you can shed on this.

I would recommend using Innovative Gift Baskets (http://www.innovativegiftbaskets.ca/gift_baskets.html ) as their products are more appropriate for a business setting, they deliver to Montreal, and as the site is in English it makes for easy browsing and selection. In terms of the breakfast I have been unable to find anything specific however you could try, depending on budget, contacting some of the hotels and restaurants in the city, such as the W (W Montreal
901 Victoria Square · Montreal, PQ H2Z 1R1 · Canada
Phone: (514) 395-3100 · Fax: (514) 395-3150 ), the hotel Maritime Plaza (http://www.hotelmaritime.com/en_main.html ), or any of the restaurants from http://restomontreal.ca/index.php?lang=en and arranging for them to prepare and deliver such a breakfast. Depending on your budget this may or may not be an appealing option. Hope I helped.

How and when to start drinking wine?

HI, I was gifted with a wine bottle recently by my friend. I never drank wine or any other alcohol before. Someone told me that if a wine bottle is opened you have to complete it and it cannot be stored.. .Is this true ?
Also, when to take wine? Before food or after food ?
How much wine can a adult man or woman take ?
How do we find which wine is good … is that based on price ?

Please someone help me with these questions.

Thanks.

Wine can be stored up to a week. Take it with sinner and start with a half-glass, although you can have up to two glasses in an evening

Your last question is one that has perplexed people forever.

Is a $100 bottle of merlot 10 times better than a $10 bottle?

If you have a higher-end wine store near you (like BevMo) they have low-cost tastings, where you can sample wines to see what you might like

Wine Protectionism Gathers Pace Across the States!!!

Hardly a day goes by without fresh news of job cuts in the wine industry. The current economic situation means that all areas of the market are facing difficult trading conditions. It appears the stores are pacing themselves in a cordinated attempt not to drop too many bombshells all at once.
The undesired effect of drip-feeding the world with news of job losses is that nobody would have had the time to recover from the previous day’s news before being met with a barrage of statistics and job cuts, thus prolonging the depressed mood on the streets.

Today it has been announced that Wine Merchant Ltd’s Creve Coeur store would be closing, Usher’s (yes, Usher the musician) Atlanta wine bar goes bust and Kendall-Jackson’s parent company is laying off 170 employees.
All this in a sector that actually experienced something of a growth in sales in the last year, less that 1 percent, where most other sectors of the economy shrunk.

With all this just the tip of the iceberg, it should come as no surprise that some sections want to protect the market share they currently have. A case in point is the wrangle between the “people of” Massachusetts and a decision by a US District Court Judge. This decision by Judge Rya Zobel found unconstitutional a Massachussetts law that limits the direct-to-consumer sale of wine by wineries that produce less than 30,000 gallons of wine per year and have not used a wholesaler for the last six months.
Well, that sounds quite convoluted, as these laws tend to be. But the issue here really is market share and the need to ensure that indegenious companies are not pushed out of their space by the myriad of smaller scale producers.
On another front, word from New York suggests a renewed effort to stop the sale of wine in supermarkets and convenience stores. The views on this issue vary, there’s a surprise. One retailer is quoted as saying the introduction of this law would drive him out of business whilst another welcomes the advent of competition and thinks it is a great thing to have competition.
The government sees it as a way to help local wineries whilst increasing tax revenue for the state. the police are unhappy with the prospect of easier access to liquor by minors.

Can all this be for the greater good of the industry? The aim here is not to present any solution to this mother of all mires but to highlight how different parts of the industry are dealing with the crunch. The state wants to raise revenue, businesses want to increase revenue and the police want to, well, police the streets. The combined effect of all this is to leave the industry in limbo whilst a decision is being made and the different parties are suing or counter-suing.
What is clear is that each state will go to whatever length it must to ensure survival. Failure to do that will jeopardise more than just one firm but the entire industry as the risk is only few major wineries and retailers will be in existence at the end of this economic trough.
