Me. asked:
I want to try something different, maybe a red wine that is a little sweeter. Any suggestions before I head up to the liquor store?

Shiraz/Syrah is sweeter than Cab Sav.
Pinot Noir is very nice
Zin (Red, not white), although it’s drier than Cab Sav.
far niente vineyards are excellent but pricey
Stag’s leap are also excellent and more affordable.
try an argentinian cabernet by the vineyards of navarro-correas
they make a nice cab and a great wine varietal called Malbec.
If you enjoy wine with food, the best wine to drink with a wide range of foods is Pinot Noir. This is because it is light enough to not overpower delicate foods like fish and chicken, yet big enough to stand up to heartier foods like a steak.
If you want something with more fruit, it is best to go with a Shiraz or a Merlot.
try shiraz, its a much milder flavor. try rose mount shiraz!
yum
I’d recommend a California Zinfandel.
Zinfandel can be light to full bodied. It can be rich and spicy or lighter and fruitier. Aromas and flavors that are typical include raspberry, jam, black pepper, and licorice. This type of red wine is wonderful with steaks, grilled meats, and tomato based dishes. It is believed that Zinfandel originated in Croatia. It has been grown in California since the 1850s with California Zinfandels generally considered to be the best.
Some good brands to try: Renwood, Rosenblum, Turley, Serghesio
Pinot Noir.
