Quoth SuperB View PostFor some reason people are afraid to ask pointed questions about wine. When we had our Steak House I dealt with that a lot.
Like the two, barely legal, blonds who ordered a Cabernet. "It's not cold!"

Gewurtztraminer - German Grapes/ Fields = German named
it happens to usually fall on the sweeter side and that seems to appeal to more people.
I have witnessed the trend that White Zen seems to be the "everyone will like it" wine . . .although I have had some that wasn't all that lately.
Also, please note . . .red served at room temp. Look at your local climate. Here in Tx you do have to chill it a little as room temp can be in the 85 degrees and up . . .vs European room temp after having been in a cellar or basement.

Also - where's Boozy when she can contribute a ton of info?
Best advice I can give . . .check and see if you have any local wine tastings coming up . . .then go and enjoy them . .. talk to staff in the store . . .talk to friends . . .buy and try a variety to see what you like

Quoth auntiem View PostI think I've figured out the second lady:
Mild = mildly spicy
NOT SPICY = bland (something that isn't an option with that dish)
Of course, I wouldn't act like a total douchenozzle when I asked either. I would explain the situation and ask which dishes would work for me.
Just my $.02.

My boyfriend has geographic tongue, which makes eating spicy foods very painful for him. I completely understand wanting your food as bland as possible. But most people I've encountered who want their food "very not spicy" will use that term in particular. The suck here is not the repeated "not spicy", but more of her attitude. I've run into a lot of confusion about terms/sayings, being as I've moved from one region of the US to another. But, when I want my food cooked a certain way, I use a number of terms to describe it. I wouldn't just say "I love spicy foods.", I'd say "Please bring a lot of hot pepper oil. Thai food is tame for me. My digestive system is made of adamantium."
Yeah, Sutter Home is lame. Arbor Mist is even more lame. It makes me think of the pussified booze I'd drink when I was in my teens.
I try to get my customers to try new dishes, but I make sure to only push the ones I've eaten so that I can give a detailed description."I don't have to take this abuse from you, I've got hundreds of people dying to abuse me."
"Free at last from my vegetable prison!"
