Top Alcohol for a Great Night In

 The Japanese say that eating together makes the food taste better. Along with great friends, food and fun, there is no meal that doesn't taste better with an excellent alcohol accompanying it. You don't need to buy expensive alcohol either. Some of the best tasting wines, whiskeys, and vodkas I've had have been very inexpensive. Today I'm going to list my top few to add to your table.

1) Black Box Merlot- This wine is dry just as I like it. It has a rich fruity taste, but is not sweet. I think that a good red pair with everything, but if you are particular about wine and food pairings this one works very well with a steak. I highly recommend cooking with it, perhaps you can even use it in the food.

2) Fireball Whiskey- This is a favorite of my fiance. I personally don't like the hot cinnamon flavor, but it is easy going down. It is a great sipping whiskey. If you were a fan of fireball candies in your youth this will be a great choice for you. I believe it can also be a great addition to add a little spice to chocolate desserts.

3) Woodbridge Mondavi Chardonnay- A rich oak can be tasted in this wonderfully dry chardonnay. I use this is my one of my new favorite recipes that mimics Chicken New Orleans. You can find the recipe here. Although I believe it can be used as a base white wine for almost any recipe it is excellent to simply drink and relax into.

These are my top three choices, but there are many more out there that I wish to try. Gallo is a cheap wine, but it's White Zin will do in a pinch. I would suggest spending the extra two dollars to get a bottle of White Zin from Beringer.
