I have a recipe that calls for Brunello or Rosso di Montalcino wine, but couldn't find it. I have Shiraz, Port, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvingon. Which would make the best substitute? Thanks!

Try the cab or the merlot as they will be closest in terms of flavor profile and body to the Brunello.
Avoid the port. It is too full-bodied and high in alcohol and would likely overpower any dish you make.

In terms of flavour the Merlot would be closest but in reality any of your table wines (ie not the port) would be fine.

i would probably use the merlot first then maybe the cab sauv depending on what cab it is.
