Recommend me a good wine

I prefer wine much more than beer, and we tend to attend multiple wine tastings a month-and belong to two wine clubs. That being said: for Summer drinking I like a good French Rose. I figure in the Summer it is way too hot to drink a Cabernet or Malbec, this is a good middle of the road choice. If you like a sweeter red there is Epothic-not my favorite but many people like them. A good mass market blend is Penfold's Shiraz, Rabbit Ridge Zinfadel. A better idea is to find a wine store in your area and ask-you should not have any problem finding a good one in your price point.

At the very least he's seen The Holy Grail in its entirety.

African or European?  And swallow

Lambrusco is a chilled red wine on the sweet side but the ladies love it...aka liquid panty remover.

no tawny port drinkers, place these three next to your chair and drink from them all week;)

sandeman 10, descent
otima 10, great tawny, a little bite to it
sandeman 20, really great tawny, smooth

Mmmm love port in the winter. Grahams 10 year is my go to. A good 20 year tawny is as good as most vintages to me. 

@bgebrent   Man I am embarrassed! Time for me to watch it again!

@Botch Meritage is a Bordeaux style blend (can include Cab Sauv, Merlot, Malbec, Cab Franc and Petit Verdot) and the name is a marketing wonder...they take the "merits" and "heritage  of Bordeaux and now you have a way around US labeling laws and a wine you can sell for big dollars.  Pinotage is a grape varietal and is a cross between the Pinot Noir and Cinsaut grapes.

Thanks, Egg; yeah, we ugly 'muricans have a way with corrupting labels, like champagne...
