A very good suggestion, dt.
I would offer a counter: Francis Coppola Rosso, which is one of my favorite inexpensive reds. It's a very decent blend of several vinifera grapes, with surprising depth and character for its price. The connection to this site is obvious. Has anyone tried it?
Yes TB I have had it and like it. Also there is Francis Coppola Claret which is a blend of Cab, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. About $14.00
I hear there is also a Francis Coppola "Sofia" wine which is a high end one. Have never seen or tasted it. The thing to do would be to drink the Corleone wine forst...very subtle, and then go to the less expensive F.C. wines, thus covering all our bases.
