I'm a big fan of Rosemount Estates' shiraz which goes for about $10 per bottle.

Yep Rosemount is a nice choice, I perfer the Shiraz for a red and the Semilon Sauvignon for a white.

Penfolds bin128 is also a nice choice for spicy red

Invivio is right. Merlot 1994 Clos if you can find it. Bought 2 cases in 98.....love em for the price range. Good for dinner parties and the like. Weird that anyone else thought so.

I lived in Cape Town area near Stellenbosch for 2 years about 2 years ago, I never had better wine than in the Wine Route area there in the Western Cape. I would highly advise anyone to go there, but if you are buying it here in States, you generally pay about $15 a bottle for it. Well, I know, sucks, I paid about $4 a bottle when living there. It rocked!!

Jason what is the label? Always like to try recommendations.

PS, the light stuff from Jordan Winery is very nice. I belive that's the name of it, Jordan. Or even anything called Stellenbosch or from Western Cape, you cannot go wrong.

Umm hang on man let me do a little research... I know where one is, it's Afrikaans/Huegonot style from when the French went down there, it is in fact interesting. Let me search that name.

when I was a child I found that the more high pitched my voice was the more effective my whine would be.

http://www.wineroute.co.za/ go up to the right hand corner where there is a drop-dwon and you will find most there, but this was my favourite, wine sampling can get you mighty drunk I tell you, I've puked in those fields many a time! ;) http://www.jordanwines.com/ Jordan is here, easily one of the MOST beautiful places on Earth!

Fort Simon also very nice stuff, good Merlot if you are looking dark.

agree with Clou Du Bois, good.
i like a dry chianti, Antinori wines are all amazing.
get some good cheese to, maybe Hollander or some good gorgonzolla. mmmm.

nothing wrong with good Chianti yes some nice stuff from Italia as well, with some nice Parma.
