Dinner tonight
Dinner tonight at T.J.'s Fine Wine and Liquor in Brandon, Mississippi: what to bring and which store categories to consider.
Dinner on a Tuesday does not need a project. Start with the plate rather than the aisle: beef and anything charred suit cabernet, chicken and pork suit pinot noir or chardonnay, tomato sauce suits Italian reds, and fish suits something cold and crisp. If dinner is takeaway, a lightly sweet white can handle heat better than many dry wines.
