I have tried hundreds of bottles of wine ranging from Riesling to Ports and Cabarnets, but there are so many out there. If you are a wine drinker or just have a favorite, I would love to hear some recommendations.

Like Cabernet, or Merlot , for starters?

If you have a Trader Joe’s around you, they carry this Old Moon zinfandel for $4.99 that I just love. Everyone I’ve introduced it to has been similarly impressed.

It would be a lot easier to recommend a bottle if you gave any direction. Perhaps you are looking for a good bottle of a specific type of wine? Or a good bottle that will go well with a specific meal?

I like La Crema. They’re a quality winemaker.

If you’re looking at the under $20 range, I’m a fan of Ravenswood.

@EmpressPixie I eat alot of fish (swordfish, salmon, sea bass, etc.) La Crema chardonnay is definitely a favorite. Let’s go with chards unless someone has a favorite they must reco.

Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc. The 2007 gets good reviews, and us usually around $13–15, but I like the 2008, which is usually around $10.

It’ll be great next year. I’d buy a case now, eh?

A case would last me less than a month…

There’s a wine I LOVE that’s called Chateau LaSalle. It’s sooo smooth. It doesn’t bite you in the jaws. And, it’s around $5, so I stock up, LOL. I also like Sangria, which is also around the same price. (I’m a cheap date) ’-)

The flight will still take about 11 hours, nonetheless.
