Well, the label you posted, wasn't the Merlot....but that's the label of the Tarapaca Wines.

(yes it's red) [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/nahrung/d025.gif" border=0]

So, I have to look for the label that says Merlot, Tarapaca, PC?  

[P.C.]

Yup.  Although we don't know a huge amount about wines, one thing we did learn, is that when we liked a particular wine, it was because it went with a particular food.  (and vise versa)

That big spiel didn't tell you much about the wine, did it weird al......lol

How about a sweet fruitty wine, guys? Can someone recommend one? I would love to bring one to a Christmas party this year.

One of the wines I like is a German wine, with a not so German name.....but it's really nice if you want something less dry.  It's called Silver Bell and another none German sounding one is Golden Eagle.  Both are a little sweeter.  Like maybe a 02.  Another yummy is Albersweiler Latt Gewurztraminer Auslese. (tastes musch better than it sounds....lol)

[Moolah!]

Wine turns my guts into a jet propulsion laboratory.



Tremendous farts. (True! Not trolling.)



If I'm at a party or something and I feel one coming on, my impulse is to rush to the bathroom to release the monster, in case it drags a "cortege" along with it... (because once in a blue moon it does!)



I know some people develop blotchy skin or patches of red shortly after consuming wine.



Their skin returns to normal in a few days.

Red wines cause an instant headache in a huge percentage of people who drink them.  It's from a chemical called acetaldehyde (sp?)  (Instant hangover symptoms)

Mission Hill is a never go wrong winery, its also a good one to tour if you make it up that way (Kelowna). Lots of good wineries in the okanagan valley like red rooster and such.

  I would go for the Chiraz or Chardonnay from MH.

  Gewurztraminor is a white wine with lychee nuts in it from Mission Hill that my g/f and myself discovered when we went through MH this summer when we went to peach fest in peachland.

  if you want a real fruity not-so-winey-wine go for a zinfandel wine

I generally like a good full-bodied red wine, but very often it gives me an instantaneously blocked nose.
