They never really perked my taste buds and I will also get headaches when being subjected to it at family gatherings/holidays.

Here are my picks: Mark West pinot noir Toasted Head Cab, Merlot, (I love the graphics on the label itself) If you can ever find it: Coppola Claret *reserve* no the ordinary stuff Wild Horse pinot noir As for a good-tasting VERY cheap champagne, Cook's Extra Dry (green label). $5/bottle, it actually rivals much more expensive stuff. Veuve Clicquot, of course (which my BP gas station sells, believe it or not) at $50/bottle ;-) Enjoy! I only ever drink red; it’s just what my tastebuds seem to like.

I guess you didn't get my comment from yesterday. (too many links probably) Being in the restaurant business, I always had to recommend which wines went with what food. So... I got to taste them ;) ...well, I couldn't recommend unless I knew how they tasted, right. LOL I really don't know a whole lot about it, only what I like. I prefer red but also like white or rose. Peace Sorry, Urs…

But I digress. I became a wine drinker while dating one of my boyfriends. To this day he's the richest person I know and he didn't blink an eye about ordering a nice bottle while we were out to dinner. Yes, he paid for dinner a lot. I paid him back later. But I digress again. He taught me a lot about red wine. To this day I've never seen him drink white wine. I still love it a lot. But I have to drink it with food or it gives me a headache. Every so often I splurge and get a good bottle, but for the most part I take the stuff that I can afford. I’d take a broken ankle over a weekend in Iowa. But I digress.

My brothers are wine experts (one even has a wine cellar and bottles his own...but that's another story) and have accessed some of the finest. But our family agrees one of the finest red wines is Jest Red bottled in Napa, California. http://www.jestred.com Jest Red is a not a jest, though it is fun. Jest Red was made by a group of well-known winemakers (in disguise) with a single goal in mind: to produce something fruit-filled and JOLLY, something they would drink when wearied from SERIOUS wines, something undeniably DELICIOUS. Jest Red was made inclusively: no grape varietal was excluded from consideration, as long as it tasted good and had an attitude. Jest Red was crushed by the tender feet of those un-named maidens (though extra bulk was duct-taped to the chests and rumps of some in the name of beauty). Jest Red is a dry wine, though its kisses are sweet. Jest Red is a table wine, though you may drink it in bed or on a boat. Jest Red will make you laugh, though it is not a joke. Jest Red is wine fit for a Queen, or a queen bee, or anyone else who celebrates the sweet nectar of life. Vintage: may be found at the bottom of the bottle when emptied and held at a 78° angle to the moon during Leap Year.
