Hi, my name is Katie, 'new' to wine, and very new to snooth. I am only 21 but my appreciation for wine is growing every day. I can't go a day with out it, in a good way. I really want to learn all I can and maybe break into the business at some point. As of now, I'm saying CHEERS to my fellow winos and the community we all share!

I haven't found much I don't like... but I gravitate toward med. to full bodied reds - in the hotter months I'm more apt to drink white but typically its red for me. Merlots, syrahs, malbecs... recently had a tempranillo for the first time - it was quite good. I haven't wrapped by head around pinot noirs or cabs yet - i need to drink more. And for now, I'm a very poor college student, un-paid intern on capitol hill... which means my wine budget is typically around $20/bottle or under -- any suggestions yall have based on this I would love to hear them! THANKS!!! :)

katiellen,
try Marietta Old Vine Red, or Columbia Crest Cabernet Merlot, or an Argentinian Malbec from Mendoza Valley or Kiona Lemberger for affordable reds--some Aussie Shiraz are good at that price; and try Beaujolais when the new harvest comes in....
Virginia Cab Franc and Petit Verdot are available by you, but might cost more that $20
happy sampling!

Welcome newbie!! I'm new too, and I'm hoping to learn tons!
Katiellen, my husband and I just tried Beaujolais, and were pretty pleased with it. I was hoping it would be a tad bit sweeter, but it was definitely very good!
