i started drinking wine a few months ago. so far i have tried blackstone merlot, cavit pinot noir, and some fruity ones. i like everything so far. not sure what to buy next, as my taste buds seem to appreciate them all. any suggestions before i make my next trip to the wine store? thanks for your help!

Hi DD, and welcome to the Wine Board. Sounds like you are off to a good start. For suggestions let us know what kinds of wine you like and what price points; also what foods you would like to match. For very good general information you might check the nearby post by Kip who started off asking about Woodbridge wines, and received many great suggestions.

thanks innkeeper, i read what you suggested and took notes! i would like to try something on the sweeter side, a white wine. price-wise looking for wine under 30 bucks per bottle. do you have any favorites?

That's easy. Almost any Riesling that doesn't say dry or troken on the label for starters. Vouvray which is a Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley in France is aways a killer. Prices are from $10 and up.
