^ from what i understand it's the skins that make a red wine red (and also imparts the wine's tannin structure). to make a red wine requires the skins to be present throughout the entire fermentation... sadly, that bottle could have been anything
i'm no expert though

Perhaps you dudes can help. I once tried an Italian red that went through a process whereby the grape skins are left in for added depth. I didn't catch the name/process. Sounded like Primose or Primosa. Anybody know more?

More of a white wine drinker, usually Riesling. Tend to stick to ones from around the Clare Valley. The Jim Barry Watervale Riesling is our most common go-to bottle. I'll give a good red a shot though (I certainly wasn't complaining when I got to try a 1985 vintage of Penfolds Grange...)
Don't mind fortifieds either. A good port or muscat is a nice way to cap off a night. The Ruffian by Hugh Hamilton in the McLaren Valley is particularly nice.

First order was pretty good. Will see what will arrive next.

White: Riesling, Sancerre, if I'm spending. Italian Pinot Grigio if I'm not.
Red: a heavy Bordeaux, or a good Amarone. A New Zealand Pinot Noir if on the cheap.

depends on time of year....
in the summer, the wife and I drink a lot of roses - very refreshing and quite drinkable due to lower alcohol content.Generally, we drink a lot of reds: Pinot Noir, Zinfandel and Malbec. Not really into sweet wines, but love spicy. We're starting to venture into cotes de rhones.
Blends are awesome IMO, because it gives you interesting qualities of multiple grapes.
Segeshio makes fantastic Zinfandels which are modestly priced. They are an Italian family who moved to Sonoma Co, CA. We're part of the wine club, so we get 4 shipments a year of stuff you can't normally find in stores, but I've found their normal Zin pretty-much everywhere.
Lately we've been keeping inexpensive Prosecco on hand for Kir Royales, mimosas and just to enjoy on it's own. A bottle goes way too quickly.
With whites we drink primarily pinot grigio, but depending on what we're eating drink others.
Loves me some wine.

New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs are so 2012...I'm quite bored with them now. Have started to drink Riesling again which has been nice, as well as some of the Pinot blends.
