I'm looking for a good $20-$30 bottle of wine. I truthfully have no experience with wine whatsoever. I'm pretty much open to anything except Yellow Tail. I tried it once based on my friends recommendations, only to take 2 sips and sell the rest of the bottle to a friend. Any recommendations?
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Nice move,
I always take a bottle of wine over a girls place, anything from Australia is good (Particuarly the Barossa) just go for something sweet, either a sav blanc or a ros'e should do the trick. Don't go with any of that french ****, it's overated and over priced. And yeah, don't go with yellow tail, that **** is the worst Aussie wine on the market.
Cheers!

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

This is precisely what an uneducated pallete would say. If it's just going to be you and her enjoying conversation I would suggest a good pinot gris/pinot grigio. It's easy on the throat and as a lighter aromatic than fvcking merlot.Obsidian said:
Pinot noir (and the respective family of pinot wines) are extremely versatile and will compliment cheeses as well as meat.

A nice Chianti. It goes very well with fava beans.

We're going out on the town in the city and I figured upon the return to the hotel room with some nice wine would be excellent.
Maybe champagne instead? Wine to me seems to go more with dinner than late-night fun.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
