I haven't been in a liquor store for eons. I didn't realize how many kinds of red wine there are. I will be observing at home this year and would like to get a red wine that tastes good that fulfills the Jewish requirements for passover wine but doesn't require a second mortgage on the house.
Any suggestions?

Not even, ozziepost has a suggestion? I can't believe there aren't some wine experts out there. Help!
Blondie
Blondie,
You're doing just like me, you're answering your own threads!
Quite calm on the site
Any Californian red wine will do. Don't act like the new brothers in the hills of Mexico who used tortillas and tequila...
You could always go with an inexpensive simple Kosher wine - Mogen David is one brand. As I recall, they tend to be on the sweet side.
Yes, Mogen David is the "MD" in MD 20/20, also known as Mad Dog 20/20.
Thanks guys. What about an Italian Chianti?
Now was it okay for Bordeaux or burgundy? I don't remember. I'm drinking a wonderful bordeaux at the moment. My favourite chianti is Ruffino. Very smooth.
Chianti, Barolo, Beaujolais, Bordeaux, Bourgogne, Rioja..it's all the same as long as it is not Porto or Sherry or martini.
Thanks guys for all the help. Only men answered my question, does that mean men are the wine experts?

G'day Blondie,
Sorry to miss this. I've been rather out of sorts lately and finally succumbed to hospital yesterday, so haven't been here much.
Anyhow, glad to see you're getting somewhere. A question for you: Why do you want an "authentic" wine? I know this is what the Dubs are concerned about, but should we be? Just a thought.
BTW a number of exDubs this side of the pond use simple port. It's the form, not the substance that counts.
Cheers, Ozzie
