Wine is about personal preference. People that profess to know everything are invariably *****.

I generally like French, particularly Bourgogne. It's smooth, tasty and not harsh. Some Chilean wine is nice and Californiain, well - it's basically Frech anyway......about those vines shipped across the Atlantic?!?!?!?
