Thanks for the advice.

I drove into Pittsburgh to a store with a larger selection.

I bought 3 wines (read your postings after getting back). Let me know if I did ok.

1. 2000 Georges Deboeuf Beaugolais Nouveau. I realize some people here aren't fans of the nouveau, but I found in the past it was easy on the pallette, and heard good things about this year's batch.

2.2000 Georges Deboeuf Beugolais-Villages
This one will be more complex than a regular beaugolais, if my hours of internet study serve me well. They won't like it as well as the first one.

3. I'm not sure what's what. I asked for assitance in picking a wine, and the shop keeper suggested this one:
2000 Santa Cristina Toscana Sangiovese
The label also says Antinori.
I did some reading about the Sangiovese grape, and thought it was worth a try for the price (10 bucks)

Did I do OK? My guess is that they will best like the Nouveau, and it won't keep long anyway. Any additional help (i.e. a verbal chastising or pat on the back) is appreciated.

This is a great way to learn about wines. Thanks again!
