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!

and the same applies to barley, apricot preserves, and liquid smoke. For the winner!

My favorite however is Barbera d'Alba. Excellent wine with pizza or any other Italian dish.

You may want to check out www.snooth.com It's a great site for discovering new wines.

For god's sake, do not drink red wine that has just been opened.
Just from my own experience (which could be crap), I think you can do more with a proper glass than you can with a decanter.

As long as you let it aerate you're fine, in my experience. Perhaps a glass would make it go faster? No idea... the point, though, is it NEEDS to aerate before you drink it. If you do it in a decanter or a glass or a sippy cup, whatever, just do it.

Yeah a proper/better glass for reds will help get air to it while swirling and let you get a better smell of the wine while drinking.
