What wine should I serve with my creamy lasagna rollups?
Mom of 5 asked:
I am having company and am new at this wine thing, so I was hoping you could help me. I am serving an herby lasagna roll-up recipe that has lots of fresh veggies, no meat and ricotta/mozzarella along with pasta inside of it. It has a somewhat strong herb (basil, oregano, etc…) cream & mozzarella cheese sauce. What wine would you recommend? White or red, and any particular suggestions that you think will go well with it? Any ideas for the meal as far as appetizers are fine too, but I really need to know about the wine mostly.
I want to clarify that it’s not a marinara sauce at all, it’s a cream sauce. It does have fresh tomatoes as one of the ingredients, but it’s not your typical lasagna. It’s not “tomatoey” at all!

What is a good wine for everyday drinking?
Steve S asked:
I am looking for a good inexpensive everyday red wine. I am new to wine (but am really enjoying it). Im half french. half Italian, so I immediatly had a “taste” for a lot of the good stuff. The problem is that I am still a college student and dont have a ton of $.
I know there are inexpensive red wines that get thrown into the premium wine tasting competitions and rank in the top 10 even though they were $10 bottles. I am looking for something like that. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Sasha Doll asked:
I feel really stupid for asking this question, but I’m a new wine drinker. Does the bottle always specify when a wine is solely for cooking? Is the alcohol content different? Not planning on drinking cooking wine, obviously, I’m just curious.
