Pinot Noir!
Personality: Sensual and understated. Pinot noir is one of the most food friendly red wines, thanks to lots of inherent acidity.
Origin: The Burgundy Region of France, though great examples also come from California and Oregon.
Aroma, flavor, and texture: Rich Loamy earth, mushrooms, warm baked cherries; usually medium-bodied flavor with a smooth, supple texture that's often described as silky.
Cost: From $20 for a decent American version to more than $100 for a top-quality French Pinot.
Try it with: Grilled salmon, most anything with mushrooms (Risotto with mushrooms!), roasted chicken, and duck breast.
