*sigh* The laws are whacky here! In MS/TN, anyone can sell beer and those chemical-laden spirit mixes. But wine? Hell, no! You gotta go to a liquor shop for that.
If you like red wine, try your way through the French ones. I grew up about five miles from the French border in Germland, and to this day, I find French is the best. Okay, closely followed by Rioja (Spain) and some Italian grapes, but the Italians very much depend on the region.
I just tried the new Beajolais Nouveaux, which, strangely enough, you find in any wine-selling shack here! I'll have to try it a couple more times before a final verdict, but my first impression was, "Not bad at all." :-)
