Drinking Bogle Essential Red 2013, as suggested by 2nd-level sommelier at BevMo. Great wine at great price.

Cool. Grabbed me some for $15 this morning

Have to agree with you, just drinking this one... Easy drinking, great flavor, its overpowering w/o being decanted for awhile

Glad to hear, @bostoneo! Phantom is also good from Bogle. That guy at Bevmo swears by them. Meiomi, which others have suggested above, is also a bottle under $20 that is amazing as well.

One more suggestion for a cigar smoker from sommelier at BevMo. Gascon Mablbec 2014, an Argentinian Malbec that he said pairs well with medium to full bodied cigars with cocoa and leather.

Great price point too.

I had an awesome Argentinian Malbec over the weekend, Trapiche fine oak. For $9 it blew a lot of the more expensive wines out of the water.

Also picked up a preimum case from woodswholesalewine.com . They have some great deals if you hunt them down and $20 flat rate shipping on a case.

I'll have to check that one out at the store. I havn't had a pino yet

I'm no expert, nor is my palate refined in any way, but Detention by Peninsula Cellars is a definite hit for me if you can find it by you. I can usually find it for about $15 a bottle and have to pick up at least 3 bottles everytime I buy it.

Looks like that one is only available locally. Cant find any mention of it online and wine-searcher only lists it available through the winery.

Ah. Maybe a couple bottles will find their way to your door

Buts it's cold in Michigan. So some heat would be nice.

The first way I ever heard Port Wine described to me was when I first started in a restaurant. I was told its dessert in drink form

Pinots are nice because they don't interfere with the cigar. They stay just under the radar and elevate cigar flavors. That's the slippery slope with wines, I feel. Heavy wines, for me, tend to just mute out cigar flavor by drowning palate. But everyone's palate and tastes are different.

@bostoneo Dam dude, that is one fine case wine, except for for the Weller which is one fine bottle of bourbon. Hit me up if you need any help drinking these!
