I'm here for ya, Eye Pea I always have lasagna at Christmas. There are so many red wines that it's hard to choose, but with the options below you can bring a couple bottles. Figure 4 - 5 glasses of wine per bottle depending on glass size.

or

Very reasonably priced (about $8) and I have enjoyed it several times.
Aromas of bright berry fruit and violets merge with zesty spice and intense juicy flavors of ripe raspberry, plum and black cherry in this medium-bodied, food-friendly wine. Pairs perfectly with a variety of foods such as spicy pastas, red meats and poultry, as well as aged cheeses. It's from the Tuscany region. The Valpollicella is a little lighter and brighter in flavor with a bit of a fresh cherry finish. It's from the Venice region.
Here's a fruity French wine with a light finish. About $13 a bottle.
If your family likes Merlot wines there are a bunch of good ones. Ask a liquor store employee to make a recommendation.
My personal preference would be the Sangiovese di Romana (more full bodied) for that particular meal, but like I said, it depends on your family's tastes. ____________________ Front feet doin' the shuffle, back feet too, love them good ol' Georgia blues

Given that we're talking about the MT, I assume the answer is no. ____________________ You can call me 'Moid . . . but my old friends call me sprout.

Mmmmm, I like beer talk.
I have homebrewed raspberry wheat and an October fest on tap at home right now.
Also have my second batch of a Two-hearted Ale clone that will be ready for kegging once it's dry-hopped and sits for another week or so.

I don't think Odell distributes around this area. I'll have to check.
