smooth velvet red

[wondersofwine]

Welcome to the board. Come back often. Paringa Shiraz is another likable Australian wine at a reasonable price (at least in USA). Have you tried Beaujolais wines? You might look for Beaujolais-Villages or a Beaujolais cru (Fleurie or Moulin a Vent perhaps). I find some Italian reds easy going such as Lambrusco, Valpolicella, and Dolcetta.
