Calling all Wine-O's

[hass2001]

I'm going to a suprise party for my BFFs fathers 60th. He's a super wine enthusiast. What is a good bottle of red, maybe $20 or $30?

I'm not a red person... boo.

My favorite red is a Pinot Noir.............LOVE.  Merlots are probably one of the "drier", and sometimes bitter in the red family.  Cab's are always welcomed by most.  But, if it were me, I'd go to a wine store ( or section of the store) and find a $20-$30 bottle of Pinot Noir.......one with a fun label.

Dynamite Merlot is my new favorite

I agree go to a wine store. Our clerks seem to be most helpful, but we are generally drinking bottles under $10.

I personally like Pinot noir, petit Sirah and Syrah.

[hass2001]

I love Pinot, cabs and Merlots but I usually go for the cheaper stuff.

I think Pinot Noir is universally loved. But, yeah, ask the wine peeps! They love talking about it.

Malbec is my favorite but don't discriminate against Pinot Noir. Ask for a recommendation at the package store.

Hm, I would say probably something from Bordeaux, I think there are some decent ones from Pomerol or St Emilion available in that price range. Look for vintage year 2009 as its an exceptional year for Bordeaux.

[nilex0102]

There are some good Oregon Pinots in that price range that a good wine shop should have a selection of.

I love Tempranillo and Shiraz. Yum yum.

I don't know what this is but can't wait to try it in. A few months.

Spanish full to medium bodied red wines....they are always such a pretty deep, deep red color.  Do you like full bodied reds? Tempranillo are lower in acidity and usually have cherry or strawberry notes sometimes with a little spice. You will LOVE! Tempranillo and Shiraz blends are good too, but I don't see those as often. =(
