PAST WEEK AND.
READY SPUTNIKS PREDICT THE
DRAMA COULD BRING IN $5 MILLION
DURING ITS EXPANDED ROLLOUT.
IN HOLLYWOOD, RICK DAMIGELLA
>>Brittany: ONE THE HOLIDAYS
ARE HERE AND THAT MEANS DINNER
PARTIES THAT FAMILY GATHERINGS.
>>Brittany: SINCE MANY OF THESE
WILL INVOLVE WIND BECAUSE THEY
HAVE TO, JASON FROM CORK ENVY
SERVING, SIPPING AND SAVORING
WIN
>>> THAT WE WILL DO ALL THOSE
THINGS.
THINKING
ABOUT BRINGING WINE AS
A GIFT TO A PARTY .
WHAT SHOULD WE CONSIDER WHEN IT
COMES TO CHOOSING WIND FOR A
GIFT?
>>> IF YOU KNOW THE HOST WELL
AND WHAT TYPE OF WINE LIKE
MAYBE BUY SOMETHING LIKE THAT .
GENERALLY, BUBBLY IS ALWAYS A
GOOD IDEA.
IT IS CELEBRATORY
AND FESTIVE .
BUT THEN YOU START THINKING OF
PRICEWISE
IF YOU'RE GOING SOMEWHERE YOU
DON'T KNOW PEOPLE AS WELL, $25
SOMETHING SIMPLE.
DON'T GET SOMETHING THAT IS WAY
OUTSIDE OF ANYONE'S
, THE NORMAL
PERSON'S COMFORT ZONE.
>>Natalie: I WAS GOING TO ASK
YOU ABOUT COST.
IF SOMEBODY BRINGS YOU WINE AND
YOUR HOSTING, CANNOT OPEN UP
THAT BOTTLE?
>>> SOMEONE BRINGS YOU WINE,
YOU CAN OPEN THE BOTTLE.
I GO TO A BOTTLE EVERY YEAR
WHERE PART OF THE FUN IS WE
OPEN THE BOTTLE EVERYONE BRINGS
KEEP THAT IN MIND.
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE FIRST
YEAR AND TOOK A WINO WOULDN'T
HAVE TAKEN OTHERWISE.
IF
SOMEBODY BRINGS YOU WINE ,
ASK THEM IF THEY MINOR LET THEM
KNOW YOU'RE OPENING IT
BEFOREHAND WHEN YOU DO OPEN IT
OFFER THEM THE FIRST TAST
WE TRY TO DO IT AS DISCREETLY
AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE WE ARE AT A
PARTY.
>>Brittany: LET'S TALK
GLASSWARE.
THAT IS WHERE I GET CONFUSED.
MASON JAR.
>>> I THINK THAT IS OKAY.TRY
TO SERVE SOMETHING MAY BE IN
THE SAME SIZE CLASS WHETHER IT
IS WHITE, RED OR
ANYTHING .
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
GLASSWARE, MASON JAR IS GREAT.
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
