Does anyone here other than me drink wine? I prefer red..and really enjoy Italian Red Wine.. anyone want to make some suggestions?
I love Brunello (any variety from them) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunello_di_Montalcino
and I also love Banfi (Chianti Classico)
other recommendations or suggest would be great...
The Brunello can be a bit pricey (most I have paid is 200 a bottle)
and the Banfi is made from the same grapes as Brunello but for a fraction of the cost (17.99 -19.00)

I have had the Ruffino..(this past weekend actually) VERY GOOD WINE and quite costly...

[|DRC| Marblecake]

Its 30 bottle. Are you gonna take slims route???

[|DRC| Messiah]

depends on where .. I pay 22.99 for that ruffino 2002..the 2001 is 30 bucks. (I meant costly as in affordable). I usually buy this wine :

as its about 20 bucks a bottle but as good as a 50 dollar brunello!

Slim were you one of the kids who kept it in a back pack with a hose and would open the tap anytime you would like a refreshing sip. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH boxed wine 2007 the best year, with new anti-leak tap.

If you haven't tried it already, give MASI, Valpolicella a shot ...Its an Italian dry red wine and excellent with pasta or meat.

Another good one is Terre Dei Volsci, Velletri. Its a limited edition vintage Italian red wine and very tastey

Another one I like is Reserva Casillero del Diablo, Merlot. Its a red wine from Chile

I'm not a huge fan of white wine, but I tried one awhile back that was simply awesome! Its called Petter Leehman, Unwooded Chardoney. If you havene't tried this one, I suggest to give it a go. It doesn't taste anything like other white wines I've tried because it is "unwooded" so it doesn't taste like pine tree. In fact its very smooth

I am not a fan of white wine either.. I much prefer a full bodied red but as the weather gets hot I am getting into reds like Pinot Noirs that can be chilled.. I found this great sparkiling red italian wine called "Rosa Regale (Brachetto d'Acqui) from banfi.. I like Banfi wines as you can tell.. Its very good as a desert wine but...good for summer.. check it out:

My wife and I prefer California wines, and we like to try different wines and use this link http://www.wineloverspage.com/qpr/ when looking for something different. They rate them very well and mostly are on target - from the cheap wines to the more expensive Pertimali 2004 Rosso di Montalcino $30 - and loved the Pizzano 2004 Chantilly $10. Enjoy!

I think it's interesting how many wine drinkers are amongst us
When I buy a wine, I go for a PORTO. They cost around $15-20 but
they're WELL worth the money. Also, it's not really a wine but more
like a liquor. Something in between actually.
Very fruity and plenty of alc (~19%)...

Hey Oldie...if you like the Pertimali Rosso di Montalcino.. You should try the Banfi 2004 Rosso.. It is VERY good and is priced very good around 22.00 bucks.
I have also tried some California Wines.. I try a different wine each week.
Thanks for the link..
