Do you have any favorite Wines and/or, Wine-growing regions or Countries you prefer to get your Vino from? Any recommendations to the rest of us Plebians?
I've always enjoyed California Napa Valley, or Italian Reds myself.

My favourite wine comes from my mum, when she wants me to make her another cuppa.

I'm mostly a beer guy, but I've mentioned some good wines in the "Cheers" thread. I prefer a round taste, low on tannines, a bit sweet (but not so much, it becomes a dessert wine).
For white wines, I'm particularly fond of Rosemount from Australia.
For reds, I only drank Camp (also from Australia) for a while, but since tried some related wines for variety, like Falling Feather (from the US). And a couple more whose name escapes me at the moment.
I don't know anything about regions, but it appears Australia makes wine I like.
Obviously there are more expensive red wines that I've also enjoyed -- like the eternal Amarone from Italy.
I hope to try Alan Silvestri's wines one day, but they are not available over here.

Here's a kicker - my family owns it's own Vineyard. These are distant family members that I've never met, and who probably don't know of me either. My great grandfather came from San Sebastian in Northern Spain. And my grandfather spoke of them as well, this would have been when I was a boy, so I don't recall of what they spoke of. But if you google them, you can find 'my' vineyards (not mine, only by family), still thriving and doing very well in Spain. You can see the lands and the family members who grow the grape. Bodegas Moraza, Rioja, Spain.
Hey, it's pretty nice to have a bottle of Red with just your name on it. My sister and I both have a couple of bottles.
