What's Your Favorite Red Wine Brand?

Great Wall

Tomasello Pinot Noir.

Marques de Murrieta : Tempranillo Red, 2006.

For me i have no favorite name, i always find the highest alcohol content. According to my Italian boss who was raise in a wine farm in Sicily that there are cheap red wines that taste better than the expensive ones, i learned it from her.

The cheaper red wines from France, Italy, Spain and some red wines in Germany (tho Germany is more renowned for its whites) are , inmho, tastier than the reds grown here in America. The reason for this is that the soil in California has a lower pH, which is the reason for the more acidic taste. The soil in Western and Central Europe is flatter, richer in nutrients, and the processing there is...aged. The Tempranillo in Spain, for example, has a undeniably rummy taste to it, due to the fact that the wine makers in Spain that prepare Tempranillo use old rum casks. Everything takes effect; from the pH level of the soil, the casks used, the humidity of the area, and the very grapes themselves.

In regards to reds from Europe, I'm fond of French; particularly Bordeaux-grown.

Ah, very nice choice of California Wines. When it comes to Carlo Rossi, they really make good blush (pink); its a mixture of their whites and reds.
Great with white meat. he he he

Unsa gud nang nagkidlap-kidlap, Bay Bugs? Nawala man ko sa passing...

Another style of red that i think is noteworthy: Shiraz

One of the best are from Australia. So far, all the Shiraz brands from Australia were beyond expectation.
