ultimakf7 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Rosemount Traminer Reisling... ~$8 a bottle. Flavorful, but yet not overwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Make sure you don't confuse Stags' Leap and Stag's Leap. Stag's Leap Wine Cellars - http://cask23.com/ GOOOOD stuff but pricey. Stags' Leap Winery - http://stagsleap.com/ Usually better than decent and more affordable but some say they are taking advantage of the Stags'/Stag's Leap name.

SneakyFast Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Rodney Strong -Cabernet- often on sale for $10. This is a KILLER $10 bottle Geyser Peak -Cabernet- $14-$18 Murphy Goode -Cabernet- $22 These are a few smaller California Central Coast Wines. They are all caried by major distrubuters but probably don't have huge distrubution. If you see them you have to try: Storr's -Chardonnay- $16 Cinnabar -Mercury Rising- $13 (This one is a bordeaux style wine. Awesome for $13) Bonny Doone Vineyards "Big House Red" -Red Table Wine- $10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBY Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 J. Lohr Estates Seven Oaks Cabernet - between $15 and $20. As far as whites go grab a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc if you haven't tried one before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest heightsgtltd Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I love NZ sauvignon blancs, from Marlborough area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBY Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Aussie Reds are awesome, buy this if you can find it: http://www.taylorswines.com.au/ourWinesTaylors.php?id=1813 will probably be around the $15 price point in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JessterCPA Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Ruffino Chianti Classico Reserva I actually prefer the non-Riserva. Has a better flavor to me, and that extra few $$$ in my pocket makes me feel better also. Jesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsdzine Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I've had good luck with most of the Yellow Tail (Austrailian) wines, if you are looking for something affordable. +1 on the yellowtail. don't like their chard, i think it's got too much bite. i like their reserves, usually stick with cab sav before and shiraz for after dinner. good bang for buck when it comes to wines. another good one was barefoot's merlot, pretty solid for the price. i don't really drink whites so no help on that one. brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest heightsgtltd Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Yeah Gewurtz's can be really goooood Though sometimes they can taste to much like greenery if you know what I mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolbluelb Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Little Penguin Shiraz for $7 a bottle is hard to beat in my opinion. If I want to spend a bit more (and can find a bottle) Penfolds Bin 389 ($20) is a nostalgic favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like them, then I found Viogner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest heightsgtltd Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Viognier is one of my favorite white grapes. As I said earlier, I really like a lot of white's from Loire Valley (sancerre, Viognier, some Chenin Blanc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
