What are your favorite red varietals to drink during fall weather? Something warming, full-bodied, etc! Trying to branch out here, I don't know too much about wine but love a little spice.

GSM blends. You want something with syrah for that rich texture. Perhaps a malbec.

Not a lot of GSM in Santa Ynez, that’s more a Paso thing. Santa Ynez is mostly Pinot noir (thanks Sideways). Bigger reds will be mostly at the eastern end of the valley. I highly recommend everything from Hitching Post (and you *must* get a steak and grilled artichoke to go with it), especially the Four Top which is one of the best valued wines anywhere IMHO. The Volpino from Foxen is another really interesting red in the area.

For a great red-style white, try the oak-aged Chardonnay at Foley.

I basically drink 3 reds. Guigal Cotes du Rhône, good Zinfandel’s and Cabs from Napa. There are some expectations but that covers it. Mostly I get them from wine clubs. In the store I generally won’t touch a Zin under $30 and Cans under $45.

The Biltmore has a Christmas blend. It’s a little sweet, but it has all the flavors and spices I associate with the season.
The do a red & a white. I personally like the red better.
