[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 9223260, member: 67454"] Cabernet Sauvignon is all I drink anymore, when it comes to wine. The funny thing is at first I couldn't stand cabs, but now its all I care for. Francis Ford Coppolla has a great cab, and a Claret Cabernet Sauvignon; both well under $30.00. Navarre Correas, of Argentina, I think, also has a great cab. There are literally tons of really good cabs for under $30.00 a bottle. The same goes for other grapes, too. Expensive wines, i.e., anything over $50.00/bottle: if you are not a wine lover, someone who can discern all the individual flavors that are in a really good wine ... then don't spend over $50.00 a bottle. You will not be able to tell the difference, spend the money on a good dinner or some jewelry instead. I'm not saying you won't appreciate it as a put-down. I can't tell the difference between a modestly priced good wine and a really expensive wine, and I've been a wine drinker since I was 25. Some of it is training, and some of it is genetics. The deal about only having certain wines with certain foods: just a guideline. If you like reds and hate white wines, then just drink reds. Red wine is the best for you. More tannins, and they contain resveretrol, good for the heart and body. One glass of any red wine a day, even the cheap stuff, does most people a lot of good. And here is one that really gets up some people's noses: many really good wines are available for less than $10.00 a bottle. At most grocery stores. They are usually made by small, unknown wineries, local, domestic and foreign. Jim Snover Almost forgot: the Australians are making some great wines, very reasonably priced. Yellow Tail is a terrific winery, I love their Cabernet Sauvignon. Another place to get some great bargains on wine: Sam's Club and Costco, I kid you not. [/QUOTE]
