Your best bet is to find a big liquor store around you, and see if they have a wine tasting event, which many do every couple months. Many times, you can go there and sample over 20 different wines, and gauge what you want based on those samples.

another good way is to find a nice restaurant in the area and see if they have wine tastings. |

MONEY NO OBJECT! :
Pesquera Ribera Del Duero Reserva, Either from 1999 or 2001.
Spanish Tempranillo, absolutely sublime. Quite expensive but my favourite of the Spanish reds. Honestly, at least try and get a bottle of the 1997,1999 or 2001 at least once in your life with a good meal. It's the definition of great wine. |
just checked if they sold them here and they just have 1996, 98, 2002 |

Buy the 2002 and wait two years... Should be nice. I cant remember correctly, but i dont think the 1998 was great. Or it might need a few more years...
Adi26, you got the Pesquera? Awesome... |

i dont really give a crap as long as it's red and medium-light bodied. the only white i like is pinot grigio...i don't like that woodsy white wine flavor like chardonnay (sp?). i like a sweeter, more crisp white. for the most part though, i'm all about red. i like pinot noirs and i like shiraz too. as long as it doesn't have too much of that bite, it's all good.
i dont really like drinkig too much red wine though, i get really emotionally drunk off it for some reason. anyone else have that problem? |

happens to the best of us...i find it helps if you're around positive people, and with stuff to do, instead of a low-key evening with nothing to do except sit around and think about .
ewwwww but no more boxed wine for me.
