Cheap but good red wine

[Dick Moore]

Tough to beat the Australian Shirazes of you like big fruity wine, say Yellow Tail, eg.

The Columbia Crest Cabernet Sauvignon ("Cab") is very nice, and the Cab-Zin and Cab-Shiraz blends are almost always great with food and tasty to boot, from nearly any label. I like the Rosso from Coppola myself.

I find it easier to get drinkable reds than drinkable whites at reasonable prices. And while we're at it, can someone explain to me why all of the pinot Grigios have shot up in price? $14 for Santa Margherita?!! Please....
