Hi Ragnar, and welcome to the Wine Board. Agree with Foodie's suggestions. Just about my favorite quaffer is a Valpolcella Vino di Ripasso. Before you think this is something exotic and expensive, let me assure you that it isn't. You can get a Cesari, Mara, Vino di Ripasso for less than $10 in some places, and for a little more elsewhere. It is very widely distributed. Other Vino di Ripassos run between $10 and $25. They are journeyman Valpolicellas that are refermented over the pomace of Amarone. The latter is a very expensive wine and one of best from Italy. The Ripasso is a wonderful wine at about one third the price. Try one, you will like it.
