Help! We have to provide our own alcohol to the venue, so now we are at the point where we have to decide on wines. We would like to have at least 2 flavors of each red and wine. I really know nothing. The liquor store that we are buying from gave a few suggestions Fetzer Chardonnay - white...

Help! We have to provide our own alcohol to the venue, so now we are at the point where we have to decide on wines. We would like to have at least 2 flavors of each red and wine. I really know nothing. The liquor store that we are buying from gave a few suggestions

Fetzer Chardonnay - white

Conquista Malbec - red

Barefoot Riesling - white

I would like a sweeter and dryer of both maybe? I have no idea.. I am lost.

    How big is your guest list? Can you get input from them? In my case, my friends are the only big wine drinkers and we all like sweet so I will definitely have reisling. I'll probably do a chardonnay and a Merlot as well just in case anyone wants it but outside of my friends most people will be drinking beer and liquor.

    @FutureMrsSimmons, the guest list is around 165. I think wine will get drank, but only because it is available.. it is not many of my guests first choice..

    Sorry OP - I was looking at the wrong date! Haven't had my coffee yet. I would still suggest having some sort of bubbly (champagne, prosecco, cava, sparking wine) since that is always popular at a wedding. But I retract my rose comment. Two reds, two whites, and 1 bubbly, and you should be all set.

    OP, I just looked at your date and if you have any way to warm the wine maybe look into a spiced wine? It's quite enjoyable on a chilly evening!

    I'd add a pinot and a cabernet and steer away from Barefoot.

    Blends rock

    I'd also add a rose'; very , very popular this year, and pretty too.

    I'm a white wine kind of gal and I think your white wine choices are good but I would definitely upgrade the Riesling

    Do you have a bevmo by you? They do complimentary delivery and wine tasting.... and they will honor the 5 cent wine sale prices.... I know it's not what you are asking. But thought it might be helpful
