or a good quality south african pinotage, a very fruity red

my current fave too in the "normal" category.

for more of a special occassion:

La Fiole du Pape (Chateau Neuf Du Pape, Pere Anselme)
France, 1996 or 1998 (I think?)
~$35 @ LCBO

ages very well and comes in one of the coolest bottles you'll find

I've visted most of those South African Wine Estates that you listed. Absolutely beautiful places. South African wine is top notch!

My favorite is Jayx1's whine.
