Snobbish comments aside, Geneva on the lake in ohio is good times for bouncing around drinking lousy wine and enjoying the scenery. They have a great grape festival as well. About to open a malbec, i like playing the under $10 with coolest bottle design. Beware of Bycicle gladiatores

While they don't grow many of their own grapes, they do have a wide range from sweet to dry. I am much more a dry fan, and I found several that were pretty good. My in-laws like sweeter wines, and they found several, too. They do have tastings so you can try to decide which ones you like best.

You ever find out what kind of grapes you had or try to make wine with them? Perhaps you could help change that perception. How could the snobs possibly look down on a bottle of Chateau de Eddysnake.

A guy that was in my wedding was a manager there. Not a fan of wine, but if I liked wine, it'd be some sort of their collection.

I see that you've taken my Chilean suggestion even three years later. Great stuff isn't it?
I wasn't the least bit surprisd that the 'Wine of choice' in Costa Rica was Chilean.
I do see some folks mentioning (Argentinian?) Malbecs. They're pretty good too. Not quite as full bodied or full flavored as the Chilean Cabs but close.
I'm already planning my vacation for Jan 2014. I've wanted to go to the wine region south of Santiago for years. It should be a lot of fun.
