[MTK]

Wine has it's place. I used to be a big hater but totally got into wine this winter.

I'll drink it only because the wife thinks it's "fancy". I drink it because it gets me tore up. I have yet to be able to find one that I'm like, "Wow! Amazing taste." I either like it or I don't.

And AMD, I'm the same. When I'm on vacation in a tropical location, it's Mai Tais all day long (with a 151 float).

I definitely need a full bodied wine. Love the peppery and spicy ones like malbec.

Malbec is really popular right now. Argentina has so many good ones currently.

If you like full bodied red with pepper/spice characteristics, try a red zinfandel sometime. I paired Plungerhead Zin tonight with some lamb loin. Effin delicious.

Also, give some grenache a look. Evodia, Tres Picos, and Yangarra all have some wines you'd probably love.

definitely.. a local wine shop recommended it to me a handful of years ago when I told them that most reds to me are too weak.. apparently a lot of chilean vineyards are trying it out too, but I'm yet to try one

I def like red zin and grenache, good to see grenache getting more of its own wines and less blending, like malbec.. though I have enjoyed a grenache-syrah blend that I sadly do not recall who produced it

I'll check out the ones that you mentioned.. I haven't had red zin in awhile but I definitely like the style, I don't branch off and try a lot of new wines like I do other beverages.. I think that the last time that I had red zin was when a girl that I was dating brought some back from her uncle's winery.. Galleron
