I've never had it, but I was under the impression that Arbor Mist is wine with other stuff added - like fruit juice. I quite like Sutter Home White Zinfandel.

Where I live in Europe now we don't have a huge selection of California wines, but red wines from Chile (like Vina Maipo) are readily available and reliably good.

Thanks for all the great information! I was inspired by your white wine post to try a new chardonnay with dinner last night, and now I'm sure I'll be craving a glass of red tonight! I have a bottle of Mark West pinot noir on hand, which is one of my favorites (and a great value too!). Jenna, I love these wine posts! Thanks for all the great information!

I love the ELR Wine 101 series! Just one thing--have you ever thought about including some sort of pronunciation guide for people like me who are slightly clueless about some of the crazier ones? =] Hey Jenna!!

French producers protested and the EU recently caved and scrapped their plans.

Also, you should try Picardy Pinot Noir from Western Australia if you can get your hands on it! Thanks Jenna! Maybe you could also do a post on Champagnes and Sparklings Wines?

Love it. I recommend Murphy-Goode Snake Eyes Zinfandel because its ROBUST to say the least. Its perfect to go with an Italian meal, which I know you love! Anna,

Thank you so much. I mentioned in my email to Murphy Goode that most of the wine books and magazines turn me off bc they seem complicated and stuffy, and you have done a great job breaking everything down! Thank you! Question- you, rightfully so, have focused a lot on good, light, fruity wines for newbies. I however, am the polar opposite. Cab is my drink of choice and I hardly ever order anything else bc Pinots and Merlots taste too lite to me too often. I of course adore a good oaky, buttery chard, but find the rest of the whites too "fruity" for my taste. Can you give some recommendations for some full-bodied, viscous wines for us hard core types? The best I have ever had is Brunello in Montalcino, Italy. Unfortunately, to buy a good bottle of Brunello here in the states, it's about $80! Help! xoxo Anna Jenna,
