i am not a red wine drinker. i don't like the taste of tannin but i found a red wine in Italy called Brunella, organic and beautiful ruby red. it was outstanding. my favorite white wine is Chenin Blanc

@akindheart You meant to say brunello, probably Italy's most complex wine. Definitely best at full-bodied red temperatures.
