"Thanks for the advice! That seems to be the best route to go-trying lots of wine & thats what i've been doing. I've been reading a lot & any new wine I read about, I write down & eventually find it & try it. I find it to be very enjoyable. "

"Sounds lushy, but just drink lots of wine, all the time. Lots of tastings. I've found that wine is very very personal, and although I wont' go above $40 per bottle I think there are great loving wines under $20. Consistent wineries are also hard to find that consistently produce favorite wines so have to wade through a few vintages. "

I'd second the Trader Joes recommendation by D9sus4, if there is one nearby. Just start trying them, start with "2buck chuck" (if its still around, I might be dating my self) and...

This is very near what I really like out of a Zin. Lots of fruit, not overly sweet, and kick, kick you butttom. Really digging Amador Co wine, can't wait to do a tasting tour there.
This is really for the 2006 vintage. Nice well rounded supple French wine, for a good price, I think I had to pay around $10

"How I ended up in Palmer, that's easy, her name is Susie. But we're surrounded by fish, and I am active in a new group called the MatSu Salmon Conservation Partneship, which is a National Habitat Initiative sponsored group dedicated to, well salmon habitat conservation. Lots of salmon and trout around here."
