Here is Everything You Need to Know:

I need your best wine recommendations.
Red or white?
Type of red/white?
What meal pairs best with your favorite?

Be as specific as you like; I’m into pairing good wines with my meals and buying bottles for the house.

Certainly! I'd be happy to provide you with some wine recommendations. Since you mentioned both red and white wines, I'll provide options for each along with meal pairings.

Red Wine Recommendations:

Cabernet Sauvignon: A full-bodied red wine with flavors of blackcurrant, blackberry, and cedar. It pairs well with grilled steak or lamb chops.
Pinot Noir: A lighter-bodied red wine with notes of red berries, cherries, and earthiness. It pairs well with roasted chicken or salmon.
Malbec: A medium to full-bodied red wine with flavors of blackberry, plum, and spice. It pairs well with grilled meats, such as beef tenderloin or ribs.
Syrah/Shiraz: A bold and spicy red wine with flavors of black pepper, blackberry, and dark chocolate. It pairs well with barbecued or smoked meats.
Merlot: A medium to full-bodied red wine with flavors of plum, black cherry, and herbs. It pairs well with roasted or braised meats, like roasted duck or beef stew.
White Wine Recommendations:

Chardonnay: A full-bodied white wine with flavors of tropical fruits, vanilla, and buttery notes. It pairs well with buttery seafood dishes or roasted chicken.
Sauvignon Blanc: A crisp and refreshing white wine with notes of citrus, green apple, and grassiness. It pairs well with grilled vegetables, salads, or seafood.
Riesling: A versatile white wine with a range of sweetness levels, from dry to sweet. It pairs well with spicy cuisine, such as Thai or Indian, and also complements pork or duck dishes.
Pinot Grigio: A light and crisp white wine with flavors of lemon, green apple, and pear. It pairs well with light seafood dishes, salads, or pasta with cream-based sauces.
Gewürztraminer: An aromatic white wine with lychee, rose, and spice notes. It pairs well with spicy Asian cuisine, smoked or spiced meats, and strong cheeses.
For specific meal pairings, it's important to consider personal preferences and regional cuisines. These recommendations serve as general guidelines, but experimenting with different combinations can be a delightful experience. Cheers!

I am primarily a red wine fan since I love beef, but can appreciate a good white. I have never had a bad bottle of the Kirkland brand, but some are better values than others. Their Malbec was an excellent value last year at $6.99 for a 92 point vintage. It is still a good value for their 90 point vintage. They have had some good buys of other Malbecs as well.

I like to try Zinfandels and Shiraz as you are never quite sure what you will get. They can be very light or very bold and still be enjoyable. Then when I find one I really like I keep buying it.

I also love Brunello from Italy, but it is overpriced. I found clearance at a local liquor store where they had original price over $100/bottle on sale for $35. I helped clear them out. If you ever get one be sure to let it breath a lot.

I used to be a bottle "collector" and would try a wine just for the name/label on the bottle. Never found a really good wine in any of them, but usually they were ok. Australian wines have some good funny names and labels.
