Red Wine

[Jackie]

I can't disagree but Pinot Noirs vary greatly in quality. A lot of people learn to enjoy red wine by starting with a good quality Merlot. It's less tannic than Cabernet Sauvignon but has great flavor, like Cab.

Pinot Noir is silky and smooth and wonderful, if you get a good bottle. But it is also difficult to grow and fickle. You really need to know what to buy when it comes to Pinot.

Try both. Ask your wineshop for recommendations.
