We got all of our wine (our favorite red and white) for 50% off. We also got a keg of my favorite pennsylvania beer (Yuengling... it's amazing and cheap if you ever have the chance to try it). We felt the same way, that people could bring flasks if need be. As it turns out, we ran out of wine b/c people loved the wine we served so much and had to send bridal party out to get yellowtail to substitute when we ran out!Ashley Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306840048773339441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-92144212297803024302011-06-30T18:35:33.354-07:002011-06-30T18:35:33.354-07:00if you have a bevmo (or if price is right online w...if you have a bevmo (or if price is right online with shipping) they are having a 5cent sale right now! you should check it out!Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15502168331651670305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-34167315240427933172011-06-30T18:29:36.685-07:002011-06-30T18:29:36.685-07:00I read your post this morning on my Reader, and ev...I read your post this morning on my Reader, and ever since have been looking forward to coming home from work, listening to The Decemberists, and drinking wine.

I was worried that it might be a little strong for our dinner, but we decided we liked it enough that it would be just fine. It isn't overwhelming. So glad you guys like it too! <br /><br />@ Kate - We would have done that, had we planned ahead better. We ended up doing this on a whim (I mean, we knew we needed to do it, but it just sort of happened that evening with no prior planning). Having friends over would have been great!

We kept our booze options minimal at our tiny wedding, which worked because my whole family likes cheap champagne and we bought a few 6 packs of beer for those that preferred it. I think I'd do what you're doing if we had had a bigger wedding. Choices, but not too many.stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05236399150738812466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-75409142365546850002011-06-30T07:49:22.508-07:002011-06-30T07:49:22.508-07:00Malbec is my favorite; it's bold and flavorful...Malbec is my favorite; it's bold and flavorful ... and fairly inexpensive.

It looks like the second bottle from the left is also a Malbec. When my husband and I were picking wines for our wedding, we got a mixed case from a local fine grocery store and invited 5 or 6 friends over to help us taste ALL of them. (We combined it with sort of a going away party for another friend of ours who was leaving as well.) It was great fun, and it helped us a lot to get a wide variety of responses to the wine. Luckily, our friends' tastes were pretty much in line with ours, but it was nice to have that confirmation that we weren't just picking wines that only we dug.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05807371755634322930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-5429621562813207852011-06-30T05:30:40.963-07:002011-06-30T05:30:40.963-07:00Love this idea!
