New to Wine

[tandkvd]

Hi TC, I am new to wines as well, and have gained a lot of wine knowledge from this web site (though far be it from an expert). I have spent the last three months reading about and tasting as many different wines as possable ... hic... My wife thinks I am nuts. (you would think that after 18 years she would have figured that out by now).
But anyhow this is my 2 cents worth.
I am not crazy about white wines, but Washing Hills Reisling is the only wine my wife likes. It is more sweet and fruty than the German Rieslings, and only $7.99.
And if you want to try a good red wine, I would sugest starting with a Spanish Tempranillo-based wine. They are very smooth drinkers, with low to moderate acidity and tannins. Not a lot of fruit flavers but goes well with many different foods. My favorate so far is Borsao Campo De Borja 2001
75/25 Garnacha/Tempranillo, was either $6.99 or $7.99. You can find a post on this wine at, http://www.wines.com/ubb2/Forum19/HTML/000047.html

PS. For that $20.00 wine try Sterling Vinards 1999 Merlot.
