Since you say you're not a wine drinker you might try the "California Red Wine" made by Menage a Trois. It's a blend of Zinfandel, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon.

"I wanna go to Miamiiiiiiii ...."
Oops, misread the title....
I make a lovely red Zin that is my all time favorite pizza wine and I make a Green Apple Riesling (white - off dry) that is delicious served ice cold.
Off the shelf, look for Amarone Valpolicella (watch out for sticker shock).

Here is a few that are likely available at your local Sam's Club:
Carnivor Cabernet Sauvignon
Layer Cake Shiraz
Penfolds Bin 8 Cabernet Shiraz
All three are dry red wines but not overly strong.
Good values, we drink the first one with meals on a fairly regular basis.

X2 on the Happy Camper. Under $15 and we also like the Cabernet. This is my one exception to the rule about never selecting wine based on the label! Would be perfect for a toast to the new rig

It's whatever you like. Dry, sweet, red, white. Doesn't matter what the cost is. me, I'm a chardonnay drinker, with an occasional sl. sweet red blend like Apothic Black.

Like you, I saw this in Total Wine and bought it just because it said "Happy Camper" on the label. We were pleasantly surprised at the taste.

Do you like dry or sweet? It makes a difference. Merlot for dry. For sweet try a muscadine wine. I recommend childress wine for the muscadine. For merlot, look at mondavi or oak leaf.

The Galleano family has been making wine since before I was born. They make one of the best Ports that I have ever tasted at a very reasonable price. (As well as all different types of red and white wines)
They pour full glasses for their "tasting", so going there is always like a party.
I highly recommend a visit.

Wow!! Thanks to all for these suggestions!
Definitely like dry vs sweet. I like Pinot Grigio sometimes if white, but hubby likes red (but he doesn't drink to often either). I really need to keep log when I try one I like..lol
Nice if Dealer gives bottle of "happy camper" wine, maybe RV wholesalers will..??

I like wine from Duplin Winery, in Rose Hill NC. I like a sweet wine. I like wine made from wild grapes, they are musadine grapes, I probably didn't spell the word right. When I was at the Cedar Creek factory I gave Denise a bottle. I like a flavor called Black River Red. Anyway it's real sweet
