For the past year I have been mainly drinking Malbac from South America. It is a dry red wine that is far superior to many bottles you can buy for four times the price.
It runs from $8 to $10 a bottle in the liquor store and is often the lowest priced wine on the menu at a restaurant. I recommend it highly for a nice wine to enjoy with your meal.
This is the bottle I got a Enoteca for about $25 and it was just great.

Malbec is very good. Good recommendation.
You can drink a Malbec and review this post over at lawyersgunsmoney that Pastafarian put up over at Lem's...
'The thing has gone for ever,' Armitage said. 'It has been split up into what it was originally made of, and can never exist again. It was an impossibility in a normal world. Only the least fraction was really matter in any sense we know. It was like its mother - and most of it has gone back to her in some vague realm or dimension outside our material universe; some vague abyss out of which only the most accursed rites of human blasphemy could ever have called her for a moment on the hills.'
I'll stop.
Red Wine vs. White wine. Supposedly, real Wine connoisseurs prefer Red over White.
Myself, I like Champagne the best and then white. Red sometimes gives me headaches.
We'll drink white with anything, even meat. Although, if I remember my James Bond, I'm not supposed to do that.
when it comes to wine, drink what you like. I like both reds and whites and that BS about reds with meats is just a general thing. Plenty of white hold there own just fine with meats and I have drank reds with fish.
Of course some just like to swill the stuff from a box. Not that I have anything against box wines.
Malbac sounds a bit like Maibock (pronounce (my-bach) which is a certain type of German beer and is nicknamed "mind block"
I like a dry red with dinner. White wine gives me a headache because there is too much sugar in it. I always get the driest red I can get which is not to everyone's taste.
Malbac is a great compromise choice. It is dry but not too dry and quite inexpensive when compared to some French, Italian or Califorina wines.
Have you tried Carménère? I discovered it on a trip to Chile, and really like it.
It's made from a grape that was thought to have been lost to disease in Bordeaux long ago. It was being cultivated in Chile under the mistaken belief that it was a Merlot, and only recognized for what it really is about 15 years ago or so.
No I haven't Chip. I have to give it a try. I love Chilean wines. I drink Concho y Toro like it was lemonade.
