Weaning my Mom off of Cassata....

[quijote]

As many of you know, I'm a recent convert to the cult of Bacchus. I've been drinking wine for years--started with Glen Ellen Zinfandel, then moved to Spanish Reds for a while, and lately I've really been starting to put things in better perspective by trying and comparing wines of all sorts.

My question here is, What would be a good wine for me to try on my mother? She's been drinking flavorless jug wine for years, and I'd like to get her some higher quality wines that are similar to, but more interesting than, the Cassata Rosé she likes to drink. Should she go the Glen Ellen route? Or is there a better "starter" wine to go with?

Thanks for any answers, and thanks for such a great board!
