I love red wine. My grandfather was Italian and his family had a winery in Italy, so wine is really sacred to me. My bf is a gourmet and knows a lot about wine. I am a fairly newcomer to the subject. So far I like: All of the French Bordeaux wines, especially from the Cöte du Boune region. The Burgundys aren't bad, but the Bordeaux will knock your socks off with their smooth mellowness. I also love the California Merlots; Clos du Bois makes a decent Merlot wine.
Although I have tried and enjoy some white wines, I keep coming back to the reds. I love trying new, different wines, too. Last night we tried one from Spain, it was awesome.
I just love to enjoy the wine, without really knowing all that much about it.
