qotd: not really, but if I had to pick something I've had a couple times recently for an everyday go-to I'd say J. Lohr's Valdiguie. It's maybe 7-8 bucks, an easy drinking, light, very low tannin red with ripe cranberry, boysenberry and cherry. It's a wine you chill like a white wine, so it goes well with the hot weather we've had recently. Their current 09 release is the best of theirs of the past 4-5 years I've tried it, and the 09 has the most vibrant magenta color I've ever seen on a wine. Most of all I like that it's a varietal you never hear about (It's pretty easy to get bored drinking those same traditional varietals sometimes). If you like really light reds like young gamay (without all that dirty banana bubblegum beaujolais nouveau characteristic), dornfelder, dolcetto, portugeiser, or some blaufrankish's you'd like this.
Also a great intro wine to people who say they don't like red wine.
