Good Red Wine suggestion
I have never been a big Wine fan, but my fiance asked me to pick up a bottle of Red. Any suggestions on a good "moderately" priced vintage. She likes it a little sweeter and not to dry. Thanks!

This.
Might also like a nice rose like Sophia or Turkey Flats, though they're not truly "red." I'm not going to do much good, though, because your fiance appears to have the exact opposite taste in reds from me.

You could substitute any wine name/type in there and have a review. That's a good example of how they are written.

Were you looking at a small box or a big box?

The best thing you can do for a red wine is to let it breathe. I can't stress this enough. Get a decanter, or just a pitcher, and pour the bottle in it and let it sit for an hour. BELIEVE ME it will make a HUGE difference as the tannins mellow.

For god's sake, do not drink red wine that has just been opened.
Also, IIRC, the sexperts say to keep Red in the fifties (degrees) or maybe even the 40's, which I found shocking and ironic, but, one of the proper serving guidelines is to let the wine come close to a seeming room temperature, prior to drinking. ... and yeah, still sober here.

Shiraz, Merlots, Cabs are not sweet. Geez! They have very distinct flavors and body but none are sweet. You won't find a red that is sweet not unless you get a box of Franzia Chillable red something under $5. Now that is sweet!!
If you want a nice sweet wine choose a red zinfandel, or a Rose'.
If you want something really sweet choose a dessert wine like a Mascato, Vignoles, or some version of an ice wine.

Dominus Napanook is a nice red table wine/Meritage. About $40 per bottle if you can find it. Must let it breathe though at least 30 minutes. If you need a decanter I would suggest going to Target. You can get a nice Riedel one for about $20. Good luck!

Three other "bum wines" that come to mind, are Wild Irish Rose, Night Train and Thunderbird.

ORLY? No shit? I never knew that. Yeah no shit, but uhh, IMO i'd recommend someone maturing their pallet or suggesting her to do so, before I'd ever recommend a 'sweet' wine, yuk! I mean, nobody really wants Arbor Mist, right? Oh, and **** a port, terrible.

Yes, they should be stored at that temp. I'd also note, the conventional wisdom of "room temperature" is room temp in France, which is colder than it is here in the U.S. Temperature for serving a red should be between 60 and 65 degrees.

Thanks for all the advice, exept for the thunderchicken. Ended up getting a bottle of Gascon malbec. It was pretty good. We will keep trying different ones until we find one she really loves. She's pregnant and the doc said it was good to have a glass of red wine every once in a while.
