I'm frying up the shrimp in butter,olive oil and garlic in my giant cast iron skillet, and I have the cobs of corn simmering in the stock pot, I made hush puppies earlier (with diced onion and diced jalapenos), the buttery mashed potatoes with a little of the potato skin in the mix are warming on the stove, the white country gravy with fresh peppercorns is hot and steaming. I started the spinach greens about eight hours ago, using bacon and onion with some paprika in there as well, and the whole neighbourhood knows I'm cooking. The apple cobbler with crumb topping is just about ready to come out of the oven. I think everything is all set. But, here's the question. What should we have to drink?

That meal is just crying out for a big pitcher full of sweet iced tea with lemon. So what DID you serve to drink with it? :)

Start with some sake. Move on to dry white wine for the shrimp. Offer a sweet red for the cobbler. Finish it all with a nice peaty scotch.
Then kick back and polish off a few bottles of lager.

Mmmmmmmm... Sounds delicious! I agree with cdrwr1013. A nice, mild, fruity, dry white wine. Like a Pino Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc. Most good whites are under 10 bucks.
Bon Appetite!

Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Any Chardonnay.

Either water or your fav red wine (Cabernet, probably).
Water is good because you don't take anything away from all the great flavors in the food you've been working so hard to prepare.
But a good bottle of wine can't be beat...maybe open the wine toward the end of the meal.

Box of Wine? Yummy.
(Do you know how much I hate you when I read this? I'll give you a clue - I had a veggie burger for dinner last night. That's the extent of my cooking skills.)

I love it when my man cooks for me. You're a good guy.
to drink... I suggest a nice sauvignon blanc or a dry rose' with hot, black coffee with the cobbler.
