With that dinner, my wife bought me a bottle of red wine.. Not a real big wine drinker, but akshually.. It wasn't bad at all!! I really enjoyed it. Even having another glass tonight (with a side of indica). She got the bottle from Publix, the name is Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Rose Wine. Really good!

I guess my question for the wine connoisseurs here is, are there any others that are similar or better that I can try? Any recommendations?

Thanks for the help!

I think that winery is up near Seattle.  We went there when visiting some friends up that way years back.  Not sure if my wife has had that particular bottle, but she does generally like what that winery puts out.

Our favorite winery is Belle Glos.  They put out some amazing reds.  Their “Meiomi” Pinot Noir and also the “Meiomi” Red Blend are two of our favorites and I think they’re both under $20.  Velvety, a tad sweet on the finish but I wouldn’t put it in the sweet category like say the St Augustine Winery’s offerings.  The red blend is a little sweeter than the Pinot.  For what it’s worth, I can appreciate both sweet and dry wines.  My wife generally doesn’t do sweet. We both really enjoy these and you’ll find Meiomi is on a lot of restaurants’ wine lists as well.

They have a new Meiomi Pinot Noir called Meiomi Bright Pinot Noir. We didn't care as much for that one.
