tannins

[wondersofwine]

You might try a Beaujolais Villages wine (Gamay grape) such as the 2002 Louis Jadot one. This does not seem tannic or puckery. You might also try a Steele Pinot Noir from California if you can find one or Villa Mt. Eden Pinot Noir or Bogle Merlot or Seghesio Zinfandel. None of these is a particularly tannic wine. Let us know how you like them and we can make additional suggestions. Or from Italy try a Valpolicella or Lambrusco.
