It's become our table wine. We also like Bohemian Highway (despite the stupid ****ing design of the label) and Barefoot Zinfandel. Those are the cheap reds we drink on a regular basis. For better wines, we drink "whiskey reds" like Alexander Valley Cab, Louis Martini Cab, Lake Sonoma Zin. The meatier and more body, the better.

I will do Vina Maipo Merlot sometime soon if I find it.
Do you try to describe the wine? My girlfriend and I do that sometimes when we are feeling really classy. That $26 stuff I mentioned, her comment: "Tastes sweaty. Yeah, like sweat."
It was a really good description.
I'm working on my palate. It's pretty weak as of now.
