I noticed in another thread that sometimes a nice wine is appreciated as a gift.  Personally I haven't had the opportunity to gift anyone a bottle of wine (yet).

my favorite is type riesling and i have not had one that i did not like...from the finest restaurants to the local liquor store, corked and screw top...there is a nice balance of sweet with dry and is wonderful with anything...best served between 45-50 degrees F and usually this is easily achievable with about 20min in the fridge

I think you should check her website under gifts. Or better yet ask first. Can you imagine if every hobbyist brought wine to a provider and she had to drink at least a glass each session. What do you think she will be like at 8pm that day? LOL

Seriously though, the best wine gifts are drinkable and affordable. I’ve discovered some real hidden gems thanks to clients.  Wine should be shared and enjoyed, not treated like a relic in a sacred shrine.

Just do a little research on the subject on line.

that is a good idea...did not think of it because i do not have a website and i never expect gifts anyways...also, if i had a glass of wine with ever one in a day, i would only have one glass of wine, so let's drink the bottle

If you're having a Petrus share a '61
and they are surprisingly available.
On a lighter note Chandon or Mumm Rose
works : )

Or at least that is the general consensus these days. Cork can dry out and degrade which can cause the wine to oxidize in the bottle before it is opened. And there is the added benefit of not breaking off part of the cork or having it fall into the wine (because I've NEVER done that, lol).  

thank you Justin Wilson.  

I can recall being the beneficiary twice of a bottle of wine that was re-gifted to me on account of the gal not being able to take the bottle with her.

some will buy (and pay) for a prestige label. Some will buy (and pay) for ratings.  

in terms of quality. But... I still sort of love the tradition and ceremony of the cork.

On TER and Urban Dictionary, most people think of taint as the skin between the pussy or balls and the asshole: 'tain't pussy and 'tain't asshole.  Not the crack and not the sack.  Also known as the perineum.  

But we know what you mean... In the olden days, the only screw tops were Annie Green Springs, Ripple and Thunderbird. Now it's a different story. I think you have to know something about the woman to choose a nice wine. Some only drink red, some only drink white. Some are stuck on Napa and really don't enjoy Italians or even French. Many of us enjoy good, French champagne and it's a fairly safe bet, but some people get headaches from it. Check our sites for a gift tab. I have a bottle of Solaia on mine.

I don't drink and I have a very nice collection of wine that I usually re-gift. I am not a fan of a john drinking before a session with me. The smell of booze breath removes DFK or LFK from the menu.

They said "whatever tastes good to you". If you like a $9 bottle of wine you should drink that.  

I appreciate it when a provider states clearly on her web site, p411 etc what she likes to drink. Sometimes it's non-alcoholic. Maybe just water!  Even when a provider likes alcoholic beverages, a lot of my dates are in the morning, so the preferred beverage for us then is coffee or tea or water or fruit juice etc--but not wine.

Oh my, an I thought I liked expensive wine. My favorite is Caymus, melts in your mouth. Far Niente is also excellent Mr. Fisher. If it's on her website what she varietal she likes, I'll bring a bottle for us to enjoy or she can just have it. Or I may ask if there's something she'd like. One girl I know likes pink moscato. She'll add fruit to it an we'll imbibe it during the session.  Love wine.  

Tea, coffee, water etc. are offered due to the hours I keep when working.

some do not drink when providing...   others may be recovering from substance abuse...

unclear whether people are joking or being cynical. '95 Petrus starts at $2000 and '61 vintage (an epic year in Pomerol) starts at $7000....if you are lucky to find it
good news they are now some americans who like merlot!

A small bottle of wine and two glasses

I don't drink tea, but I don't judge people who drink that shit early in the morning, I refuse to be held to a different standard. "Wine, the new coffee" lol

I got most of my favorite wines by lovely gents like you, including a 180 dollar bottle of Quintessa which is my ATF. Cakebread and Kendall Jackson, seconds. I don't check bags so a few times I either had to drink them before leaving or, toss them which really sucked. I hate wasting good wine.

Under all that assholishness you are a gentleman and a giant softie, but I won't tell anyone.

Kendall Jackson is one very small step above box wine. It's like the "Ernest and Julio Gallo" of the 21 century. Or were you perhaps talking about what a great cooking wine it makes??? lol

Ask the provider you are booking

Ask the provider that you're booking when you speak with her. There are so many different types of wine. and the best part is, as long as you bring it sealed, you both will enjoy it

Hey... I like what I like lol. KJ has some good shit, but Quintessa is my gold standard. I do not think it's comparable to Gallo...  bluck!!! When you're broke, even that box wine is better than being sober lol. I have drank Strawberry Hill and Maddog before... don't act proper ha ha ha.

So I won't ever have to drink that swill or Kendall Jackson ever again. lol

Strawberry hill and MD2020 take me back to some wild college days.   KJ does make a nice Ice Wine i like from time to time.   Makes and excellent desert wine.

but am open to trying new. I like white wine over red.
