Any Muscato. My girl loves 'em.

I drink them only when I have the guts to lift my pinky in public.

Big fan of any Orin Swift wines. Primarily Skin Deep, Abstract, Saldo, the locations (A, F, and CA particularly), and Mercury Head. Palermo is a bit too young for me, and I don't think Papillon is worth it. Otherwise, though, can't really go wrong with Dave Phinney at the helm.

For softer reds, look for stainless or concrete aged (no oak) and only 2-3 years old. Washington, Oregon, and Sonoma Pinot Noirs are worth a try

Try a bar that does wine flights.

I've tried the San Michelle, its a bit too sugary for me, although from the whites I've tried its better than most. I recently (within the past month) went to a wine tasting, where I got a flight of whites and one rose. I actually liked the rose.

I prefer a Pinot with my fish, and a Cab/merlot with my steaks. Theres some drinking wine thats alright with me, some M100 from Fidelitas is good. I tried some 2011 Chateau De Nages (I'm not sure where my parents got it, probably total wines), but $15 for a Rhone blend, scored 90 points apparently, it was pretty decent stuff.
