Me neither, especially at under $15 level. But I have had a few head-turners in the $20+ range.

Oh, and like you - and I've never admitted this before, because around here it's like saying you're really a Franzia drinker - I've never had an Argentinean malbec I've enjoyed. Ever. There, I've said it.
Gosh...I feel so much lighter now!

w/ SA reds. The high-end ones tend to have way too much oak. Not a genre I can bring myself to love. But I keep trying.
