    Rex Goliath - it has a picture of a rooster on the label. At Cost Plus World Market it is usually under $10, more expensive at the local grocery store.

    OOh, yeah, the Rex Goliath Pinot Noir is great!! I just listened to a Podcast about how they came up with that whole marketing campaign- it was one of the first "animal" labels.

    These I have rated "Like a Lot:"

    Columbia Crest Syrah or Shiraz- same grape. $9.

    Sutter Home Pinot Noir and Zinfandel, but not Merlot. VERY cheap. $5.

    Rosemount Grenache-Shiraz. $6.

    Lindemans Merlot and Shiraz. $5.

    Ironstone Cabernet Franc and Petit Syrah. $9.

    These I have rated "Love:"

    Beaulieu Vineyard 2002 Pinot Noir $10. Impossible to find.

    Bodega Norton Malbec. $7.

    Bogle Petite Sirah. $10

    Barbera:

    This noble (term reserved to describe the grapes that produce the world's greatest wines) red grape is used to make a wine of the same name that is a hearty, dark red, astingent but full-bodied, fruity wine high in tannin. Produced in the Piedmont region in northwestern Italy and in California, this wine ages well and is sometimes called "the people's wine" for its versatility and high production.

    I have this book at home that has a section about if you like ________ then try_____. I'll look up Barera later.
