PARTY WINES (red): Clayhouse Adobe Red & Charles Smith House Wine

Both are blends of Everything and the Kitchen Sink.

HOWEVER.

If going to a party with food? Bring the Clayhouse Adobe Red.

Why? Because it's fruity and smooth, but still has tannin & acid  to cut the fat of BBQ or grilling meats. Plus, it's definitely party-priced.

Now, if you're going to a party where you're mainly going to drink or just eat light appetizers then go with the Charles Smith House Wine.

Why? Because it's super-fruity and lush, without being sweet or cloying. Perfect for just sipping or enjoying with cheese, sandwiches and appetizers.

Both retail for about $10-13.
