I've been wine shopping today and came home with a couple of things to try. I picked up a merlot from Chile that the wine dude says is great and was cheap

Have you tried it yet, Lil? I'm always interested in something new in wines that others have found to be appealing. May be worth a try. What's the name?

We had Chilean merlot on the UA flights acreoss the Pacific and it was fine.

Didn't see a store in Peoria, but Normal is pretty close and there's a store that carries it there. Maybe I'll have to make a drive over one of these days.

dicksbro is going Normal?

Not a real big wine drinker but occasionally I get a craving and pick up a bottle. I've found that most reds are simply too dry for me so I tend to favor white. My favorite is a gwertztraminer (sp?) from an Oregon winery, it's going to drive me nuts if I don't come up with the name of it.

I also enjoy a good port every now and then. Tried one by Fetzer that was really pretty good.

I've been to many wine tastings, but not in a few years, but have never tried a Shiraz. Been really wanting to open a bottle I got for Christmas but keep hedging on it because most of the reds I try I just really don't care for all that much. Usually a Cab or Merlot.

The one I've got is a 2004 Monterra from out in your area. Shall I give it a go or just bring it to a friend who lives in California that I know likes wines?

And how was the white merlot?

Sorry for reviving this thread but I kinda need some info and I didn't want to start a new thread.

Anyway, I haven't been to a tasting (YET!!!) because my new job keeps me busy enough that any time I'm not working, I'm resting. Basically, the extent of my wine knowledge is what I can find at the local grocery store. So far I've tried about a half dozen different types of reds and I find that I like the Pinot Noir the best. I agree with the previous poster, it will definitely slip your socks off.

Basically, I'm a wimp when it comes to alcohol. I just can't drink hard liquor and I can barely stand the stronger red wines. But a Cavit Pinot Noir is about the best that I've tried.

Basically, what are some other wines or name brands of Pinot Noir that are worth the money? Thanks
