Really not much of a red wine person, and that's what you have to drink to get the positive effects (which you can also get from the darker grape juices, btw)

Chernabog brought a great Australian wine once that I really liked though. I can't remember the winery name, but I think it was a type of Shiraz... I'll try to remember to ask him one of these days. He showed up at the Hollywood Bowl with it. If the paté I'd bought had been any good, it would have gone great with it, I'm sure. Instead, we just had the wine (I think I'll stick to fancy cheeses for spreads from now on).

Now white wine, that's another story... I stick with the sweet stuff. Reislings mostly. My fave wine though is La Famiglia di Robert Mondavi's "Moscato Bianco". It comes in a really thin bottle. They also make another Muscat wine, "Moscato D'Asti", which is pretty good too. If you haven't developed a palate for wine yet, start on the easy, sweet stuff, and work your way up to the dryer stuff. I like German wines, myself. Not that a Reisling or Gewurtstraminer can't be dry, but they can also be really sweet.

Just repeat after me: Friends don't let friends drink white zin...
