What is a great tasting Red Wine?
I don't know much of what kind of red wine to drink and how to store it or pretty much anything that goes with drinking red wine. I just started to drink wine and gave up drinking beer and hard liquors. Just want to drink wine to WIND me down from a hectic day of work.

Robert Mondavi's Cabernet Sauvignon is great tasting, usually mellow and reasonably priced; Pinot Noir is a little spicier red wine; Syrah/Shiraz can be mellow and easy drinking; I'm not a huge fan of merlot. Try several different vintners and grapes out to find one that suits your taste buds the best. Thats what my husband and I do. Enjoy!
I usually drink red wine with beef and italian foods.
Green Mountain. It comes from the valley of the Green Mountain, just south of Adelaide
A Meritage is a great wine - it's a blend of reds, like Merlot and Cabernet or Shiraz. It's a great sipping wine that doesn't require a good to help it go down like Chianti.
I love pinot noir! Its mild a little sweet and very tasty.
Merlot by Bogle, it's inexpensive but is really good. Also try a Shiraz by Rosemont. Those two are my favorite. Pinot Noir is much lighter than these two so it depends you.
Not sure how into it you are, but a winery with some friends might be a fun way for you try variety of different wines :o) just a thought.
It depends on the reds that you like, but my personal favorites are Red Zinfandels - a little heavier & meatier, or Pinot Noirs, which are a little lighter. The new syrah and shiraz are really nice, too...you are just going to have to try a few, everyone has different tastes in wine.
You can really do reds with so much food anymore...I think people are moving away from the old red or white rules. Personally, I will take a red with almost anything, over a white.
