I am, however, surfing the net and cuddling my cat, and thinking about making brownies for a dinner we're going to tomorrow. I also need to get to a good liquor store and get a nice red wine as a gift.

Any suggestions on good reds for a reasonable price? The guy lived in Rome and Paris and ... so his taste in wine is considerably more sophisticated than mine.
Here are some that I like that are less than $20:
Chateau Coupe Roses Minervois (served at my wedding)
Darien Rioja Tempranillo
Domaine La Bouvaude Cotes Du Rhone
Monte Oton Garnacha

And if you can't find those, any Cotes du Rhone that says "Mis en bouteille" either "au chateau" or "a la propriete" is going to make you look like you know what you're doing .
