Wine
Wine at T.J.'s Fine Wine and Liquor in Brandon, Mississippi: what it is, how to choose it, and the brands on our shelf.
Reds, whites, rosé and sparkling, plus a cold section you can grab from on the way to dinner.
How to choose
Start with the food, not the grape. Heavy food wants a heavier wine. Steak and red sauce want something with grip. Fish, chicken and anything with lemon want something crisp and cold.
Decide how sweet you actually like it. Most people who say they do not like wine mean they do not like dry wine. There is no prize for drinking dry. Check the label for dry, off-dry, semi-sweet or sweet, then choose the level that matches what you enjoy.
Then pick a tier. Everyday is what you open on a Tuesday. Step up is for company. Special occasion is the bottle with a reason behind it. All three are on the shelf.
If it is for tonight and you forgot, go to The Chiller. It is already cold.
