Wow. Awesome, thanks guys. Who knew that a bunch of beer drinking hockey lovers would be able to offer this much insight into a nice bottle of wine! I certainly didn't expect this kind of response. While I prefer Cabs, my sister is partial to Malbecs, so I have decided that although I am not sure what to get her, it will definitely be a Malbec.

HPG, I am from the Edmonton area, so I am not sure if that helps or hurts me :-)

Pengwin, I LOL'ed.

Fung, I don't doubt that story about the good wine in the cheap glass story.

Shoe, thanks, those are some great suggestions that I will check out.

GL, Personally, I LOVE Aussie wines; definitely one of my favourite regions. Wolf Blass, Penfolds, Wyndham Estates, and Rosemount all have wines that I really enjoy.

Thanks to everyone. I really appreciate the input here.
